Butterfly Garden

Anyone notice?

9 years ago

Anyone notice a disturbing trend in BST ELFs this season? They seem to be laying a LOT less eggs. Instead of the usual 25-30, I'm collecting only up to 5 at a time! This last collection, I found 3 caterpillars where I'd usually find a couple dozen. How are everyone else egg counts?

I'm in the same boat as you but I don't have any ELF blacks this year. I wish I did.

I had a couple of pots of Fennel that had only 4 or 5 on them, but the Parsley I moved into my cage had 17 that I could see. So I guess they're laying normally in south Alabama. I didn't notice any BSTs around last year, but this year there seems to be plenty.
