1st Monarch of my current brood eclosed this afternoon. Took her out and she sat on my finger briefly and then was off!! Looks like a couple more will follow soon. Fingers crossed for good weather for them!

BST count has gone up to 12, after being 11 for a week or so. Right now I have 7 chrysalises, 4 instar 3s, and one instar 4!

My Aster 'Raydon' finally bloomed--my last aster of the season to bloom! I like the pale blue.

ALso have one photo below of an instar 2 BST molting into an instar 3--her shed skin is around her head.
