The zebra longwing butterfly is finally laying eggs in the garden. I spotted the first caterpillar that we have had in a really long time.

It’s interesting that the zebra longwing female butterfly likes to find shady spots to lay her eggs. This plant is not in a shady area and has at least three more eggs that you can see in the photo.
