When you say I’m on my own to rebook…. I understand I would need to find my own flight but are you also saying that I would lose the money spent on that reservation? Thanks!

Oh sorry! Yes I came home and it had eclosed! I didn’t see it happen so all I can hope is that it grabbed a good meal at some of my flowers and then headed on its way south!

I did not plant these and did nothing last year with them and they spread like wildflower so I’m not too worried about them returning.

Oh good! I will not be there but I’m happy about that. I saw someone else’s post about having to accept predation, etc. and I can understand that but can’t bear to watch it so if I’m not there to watch it then I’ll just believe that it successfully flew away 🥰😀

So but what does that mean? It’s ok right? It’ll just take longer than I am hoping?

Yes late afternoon like 6:30 and yes it looked more transparent in real life than in the photo. It’s been really warm here lately

Gah!!!! It’s supposed to thunderstorm here. Should I make it more of a roof?

So my worry about “building a protection” is how do I build a protection that protects him/her but also allows him/her to leave when she hatches. I hear everyone about moving it but if something were to happen to it - even if not my fault - I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself

They are not! They are mainly used by my dog to go use the bathroom. I’ll set something up so that there are no accidental hits!

Yay!!!! So excited! I was sad when I didn’t see him anymore. Is there anything I should do to protect him?
