A pair of Pearl Crescent butterflies going at it in front of our garage.
You can just make out [pun?] the eponymous crescent in the above image.
And while this is not the first time they've gone at it in the yard, ...
... here's their great-great grandparents in September 2015, I've yet to find the caterpillars.
I don't feel bad though. The aforementioned Wagner, in his Caterpillars of Eastern North America, writes, "Even though the Pearl Crescent is among the most common butterflies in Connecticut, I have never encountered its caterpillar."
I'll keep looking though. They're out there somewhere.
