My cats that is! I've been watching these little buggers for a while now. I've been going out 2 times a day looking and counting them to see how many more I can find. I started off with only finding 4 baby ones. Now I have counted 15 at least! These here are the biggest ones so far.
Now I have a question, How can I be SURE and see the whole procedure? I want to be sure and see the whole thing. You know the cocoon and the whole nine yards. I feel like since I have chosen to let these hungery cats eat away at my pretty butterfly weed, I must see the rest of the game to make it worth my while. Is there anyway I could bring a couple in the house maybe in a old fish tank? Has anyone ever done this before that can help me?? If so how do I set up for them?
How do I keep the green plants alive for them to eat?
Help!!! I want to see it all the way thru!
