See, Question Marks are one of those butterflies I never see, either. Saw one at a cemetery in WV when I was genealogy hunting. It's funny, I was inspired to move my photos from my old computer over to my new computer this morning. I was going through them, deleting things I didn't need anymore, and updating some genealogy I'd never gotten around to on Ancestry. And I was laughing at my pictures because you can see chronologically where I walked through a cemetery, got distracted by butterflies for a while, then went back to the gravestones, and so forth. But a lot of the cemeteries are pretty rural and weedy so they make for good butterfly spots. And the artificial flowers do fool the butterflies, by the way. But only for a second. It's fun when my hobbies come together like that.

That Tiger ST literally in that daylily is making me laugh.

Here's a Viceroy I raised back in 2010. See what I mean about how they're dark like Queens not orange like Monarchs?

Well, tomorrow we should have Malachites at the museum. And I get to train the new person. I have no idea how much experience she has so this could be fun. It's always fun, but sometimes it's more fun than others. So look forward to many pictures from MOSI tomorrow!
