I am back in black (and yellow and white)

I am back in the caterpillar business folks. I just found my first few eggs. I was starting to get worried, having not found very many eggs, but it appears that things are picking up.

I found 5 eggs and have 3 caterpillars.

Time to get the jars out of the basement.

Last summer I raised 50 caterpillars and kept track of when they hatched out of their chrysalis and whether they were male or female. This year I am going to try and tag some and see if they make it to Mexico. I ordered my tags a couple of weeks ago, and hopefully will be receiving them soon. I will post a few photos later.
