Yes! that's what I settled on after browsing google images and finding "Butterflies of the Virginias and Carolinas"

Now I'm waiting on three butterflies to emerge from chysalis. I lost a good chunk of mandevilla vine before snatching them up and moving them to an aquarium. I think they might be gulf frittilaries (caterpillars seemed the right kind). For how long are they supposed to pupate?

Hi Kristen,

I'm quietly following your Lepcurious blogspot and grateful for it as my garden's been attracting a nice variety of local lep's. Some are challenging to ID. If you have a chance to hop over to my page and see the pic of the sulphur I took this AM. . . do you know which kind it is? The forewings when open were deeper orange than the hindwings, and there was no dark banding on the wing edges.

Hi Kristen, I responded to your volunteer perks question before reading your profile. I LOVE butterflies! Your job sounds awesome!

Can you give your volunteers a butterfly? ;-) Okay, how about a butterfly sticker then? ;-)
