Beautiful!
Here in central Illinois, I got tired of waiting so I went to a local plant nursery, found a milkweed and loaded it up with caterpillars and bought it. The pirates charged seven dollars for a scrawny swamp milkweed plant, but it was worth it to have transportation (and make sure my catholic-indoctrinated conscience was okay with snagging the cats).
I gave three to a neighbor and kept three which are now in the chrysalis stage and I hope within a couple of days to be posting a picture similar to yours

Posted by DAB456What kind is this? I think I know, but would like another opinion.

Posted by bigpawbulletsSilly meme. But an attractive butterfly. Photoshopped or real?
