Bugs

The leaves on the butterfly weed are coming back just in time for the fall migration.  The plants have been covered with aphids, and no lady bug larvae have been around, probably due to the endless 100 degree days this summer.  But this last weekend, the temps dropped, the larvae showed up, the aphids are gone, and I've seen my first butterfly caterpillar.
