Butterflies and Moths of North America

collecting and sharing data about Lepidoptera

  Sighting 1211439

Observation date: June 23, 2019
Date notes: Just bought a planter of flowers to put in my garden. I was especially attracted to this pot since it had pollinators on the flowers and a few caterpillars on a fuzzy plant that reminded me of pussy toes and I wondered if they might be an American Lady Butterfly larvae. I live in Victor, NY. If this is id's as such, I may try to raise them indoors. I also do Monarch butterflies from the milkweed in my garden, but they have not arrived yet.
