aaaah i don't think i have mentioned here the chrysalis that i found in my fridge back in november because i was afraid it might not survive the winter but i carried it in from the balcony today and it looks like it's alive 🥹 i can see the wings

how it started vs how it's going

(yea i made a gauze hammock in the jar for it cause placing it on bare glass felt wrong. maybe now i should remove it and put in a piece of stick for when it hatches)

#this is so exciting i've never cared for a chrysalis before #cabbage white #bugs

do you have any factoids about the pieris genus? particularly pieris rapae cuz i named my after them :) my name is pae (pronounced like the english word "pay") taken from the end of their name

unrelated thing about my name but it's unintentionally an anagram for "ape" which is fun because i'm interested in nonhuman primates

weeble for your troubles

Honestly I don't know much about them beyond what you can read on their wikipedia page! So I'm sorry I can't share any fun facts but I can share a few nice photos for you to enjoy! These are all Pieris rapae although all flutterbies in Pieris are lovely

Chrysalises can be brown, tan, green, yellow, or a combination of those, so here's a couple:

And finally the egg!

Obviously this is an extreme close up, and they're VERY tiny...like 1mm. Photo by Gilles San Martin

Bug of the Day

Some say that moths are just nighttime butterflies, but here is an actual nighttime butterfly - a cabbage white, Pieris rapae - that I caught with the flashlight, hanging out on my joe-pye-weed. What a cute little jerk-eating-my-brassicas :-).

Ligustrum (privet) and Pieris rapae (cabbage white butterfly)

We have a very tall privet hedge which runs the length of our back fence and the back fences of our neighbors on either side. Yesterday, I cut it back as I do every year. The privet is allowed to grow up, as a privacy screen, but it’s not allowed to grow ‘out’ into my back lawn. As any gardener knows, sometimes plants need to be closely controlled.

Privets are from Asia. Although privet hedges are synonymous with English country gardens, everywhere else they grow in the world (except Asia) they’re a non-native species. This includes our back garden in Vancouver.

While on the subject of non-native species, the cabbage white butterfly has a natural range across Europe, Asia and North Africa. It was accidently introduced to Quebec in 1860 and is now commonly found throughout North America. By 1898, the cabbage white had spread to Hawaii. It reached New Zealand and Australia in 1929. It does not seem to have made it to South America yet. Incidentally, this one has two spots on each wing, so it’s a female.

This white butterfly is named 'Cabbage white' because...

When they were larvae, they love to eat cabbages!

First one of these little guys that stayed still long enough for me to press the shutter release in a long time.

I'd be sleepy too if I were refrigerated! I'd guess it's a cabbage white but there are other tiny green dudes that enjoy eating broccoli.

August 2023: Mostly Verbena & Butterflies

Clearwing moth:

Something emerged on our Mock Orange:

Solanum aethiopicum (aka Pumpkin-on-a-stick). This is an African eggplant whose fruit visually resembles pumpkins when ripe. They are edible but you see them more here in the U.S. as dried components in flower arrangements. I collected the seeds from a Fall flower arrangement we bought last year. I hope we get some fully developed fruit because I've found some recipes online & I really want to see what they taste like:

Just one of the senoritas visiting our backyard on their way back to Central America:
