My son and I found a caterpillar in the garden and decided to raise it. This beautiful Variegated Fritillary emerged from the chrysalis today! It stayed in it's large coffee can home for a few photos and then flew off into the corn field by our house.
We also have quite a few Red Admirals roaming our house, they seem to enjoy the brick.
