"I thought I'd tell you all you'll evfur wanna know 'bout growing
Cat Pillars. And then you'll just leave 'em be where you sees 'em."
"Sometimes we had so many at one time
Lynn had ta put in a shelf to separate them
furom crawlin' on each other."
"And you kin see furom the dirty towel in the
bottom that they poop a lot and leave a stain."
"And she found so many Cat Pillars on her only
3 milkweed plants that she had to put them into
buckets with net tops to spread them thinner.
As you kin see in the top photos, she ended up
with TWO net cages. The green one and the
new blue. She ordered a third one furom the stinkin'
Amazons who sent it FOUR WEEKS after they took
da moneys. Too late to use."
"She hadda use a fishing tackle box with lid to put the eggs in
and keep the tiny hatchlings separated. Ya know what, these
Cat Pillars will eat each other if some are tiny and the others
are big. They nevfur evfur stop chewing. Now me, I stop
fur drinks, catio and naps."
First Eggs June 26
Last Butterfly Flew Sept. 26
Catepillar count: 219
Butterfly count: 168
Parasited count: 51
"And Lynn accidently brought home
about 2 dozen pillars or eggs and had
to raise them too. They are included in the
count. The milkweed kept
getting mowed down by the road keepers
so it got furry furustrating."
"I am the only cat she needs to feed. But
she has one only, Blackswallow Tail Butterfly
chrysalis hibernating fur the winter."
"Lynn put the orange tree up in October.
But the orange glitter acorns don't show up
in this photo. Don't think the squirrels
will come in to eat them."
