Observation notes: Hello Mike, thanks for all the feedback, especially on the frits, it's very helpful. As for Queens, this is the one I collected three eggs from in August, that was it for Queen eggs raised to butterflies. She's pictured with swamp and showy milkweeds. The earlier picture of a male on Verbena hastata was from July. Labor Day freeze then successive early freezes pretty much did it for most butterflies in general and I can only remember seeing a couple of late Queens. Thanks again, Mike, you're the best. ~ Char
