Darla, it was probably wasps. They are quite the good little hunters when it comes to caterpillars.
Shamu, right now that's it. We had Red Admirals mating yesterday, so hopefully she'll lay some eggs on the false nettle that I have planted. They're the coolest looking caterpillars!
Threecollie, do you have butterflies out yet or is it still too chilly?
Hanging upside down, they dry out and pump blood into their new wings. 
Doesn't take long and they're ready.
Take off!
Nothing more beautiful!
