Last year I saw 5, and two of those were ones I have brought in as caterpillars and watched grow, pupate and later emerge. I am so mad at myself for not getting tags this year. I could have went through a 100 of them by now. Thank you for the link, I think it is fun to track the progress.Shelly Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18367843308248195970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1013316887660017880.post-19600140081654040842010-09-23T13:46:41.474-05:002010-09-23T13:46:41.474-05:00Still waiting on them to show up in numbers here a...Still waiting on them to show up in numbers here around St. Louis.

I know it probably seems funny to some to go to great lengths to keep from hitting a bug, but I simply don't see the need to kill them if I can help it.Shelly Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18367843308248195970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1013316887660017880.post-9073337230699785072010-09-21T00:03:01.580-05:002010-09-21T00:03:01.580-05:00It breaks my heart a little when they hit the wind...It breaks my heart a little when they hit the windshield.
