Viceroy.....I would say about an hour to an hour 1/2 a day. I check them and feed them twice a day sometimes three times. Then there is a few minutes washing cages and searching the host plants and collecting eggs and cats.
But I am retired and find it a rewarding hobby.

I saw this TST today. My first dark variety! It stayed around for a couple hours nectaring on the cone flower mainly. It's wings were a bit tattered but it was beautiful to me.
