The Butterfly Haven

[SummerTheAnimalGirl]

I know it’s not a butterfly, but I saw a Luna Moth on my porch last month. It was really neat! I actually saved one last year. It had gotten covered up by sand and was getting tossed by the waves. At first I thought it was a piece of fishing net! I brought it home, let its wings dry, and within an hour it took flight.

Hey @Chicken poppy! How are your chrysalises doing?

Very great. They all hatched and flew away, swallows are beginning to circle my plants so i presume the monarchs will be coming with their eggs soon!
