First Buckeye!

Today while volunteering at the Sophia M. Sachs
Butterfly House
in Chesterfield, MO I saw a Buckeye, Monarch, some Swallowtails and white and sulfurs.

Later in the day at home, I found yet another Monarch egg on a Swamp Milkweed. I measured it, it had a diameter of about 1 mm. I took a picture. I also found a Snout Butterfly laying dead outside the house, got pictures of it too. I saw a Question Mark or Comma, couldn't tell which it was, on one of the rotting bananas hanging from a tree.
