I didn't see my Sulphur cat this morning, but I figured he should have molted by now and moved to a new leaf. After a wonderful dinner (macadamia encrusted Mahi Mahi, among other things), I walked back to the hotel and checked again. And my baby has a friend! There's two of them!

I almost forgot! Here's a picture I took of him in the morning when I had decent lighting.

Here's the Cassia they're on. I recommend going native, though. And while I'm at it, let me just point out that I'm staying in downtown Naples. Shops, hotels and restaurants all up and down the street. So for those who think they can't attract butterflies because they don't have enough space, don't live in the right area, don't have the right habitat - you can create a butterfly oasis! That's why Monarch Watch encourages people to create "Waystations" in their yard. If we put enough puzzle pieces together, we can build an ecosystem!
