Can you divulge which lens you used for this photo, or is it a trade secret? And totally unrelated, I saw in the Danville newspaper that you were giving a speech (talk? lecture?) here last week, but I was in St. Louis on business and unable to attend. I would have liked the opportunity to meet you, as I've read your site on a regular basis. Perhaps next time... Jim in Danville Fred:

My grand-daughter's kindergarten teacher has invited me to come and give a talk in the spring when the class will be studying butterflies - I am so excited, I can hardly wait! My grand-daughter, Helena, can give you the entire life cycle of a butterfly so I know she will be a great help to me in my presentation......

I found 3 Monarch larvae on my milkweed this summer - but something happened & they disappeared - I was under the impression that no predators would harm them, but something happened - I question what?????????? I had aphids & milkweed beetles on the milkweeds, but the Master Gardener at the MO Botanical Garden told me not to worry about them as they would not harm the larvae. So what was the problem? Don't know - will have to investigate! Oh My – a beautiful Monarch larva!!

They've grown back a healthy thick winter coat, but yet it's been so warm, that new coat is beginning to blow out again. As for me, I'll be real glad when it gets cold enough that the winter coat stays on the dogs. Because you don't know shedding until you live with Siberians!
