John Froeschauer responded about the request on the Sleepy Orange
caterpillar image. He says, "Yep, that's a Sleepy cat. My Senna has exploded
this year, but not a one on it." Thanks to John for his ID comments. I have
had eggs of four 'fly species at the Manor this year--Sleepy Orange, Wild
Indigo Duskywing, Viceroy, and Black Swallowtail; found caterpillars of
Sleepy Orange and Black Swallowtail; and mating of Cabbage White, Monarch,
and Common Buckeye. To date there have been 38 butterfly species at the
Manor, perhaps the more unusual being Bell's Roadside-Skipper (on 8 dates),
with a one-day high count of 16 species.
