Marvin Rainwater's song; the version better than that of the Raiders was recorded by brit Don Fardon, whose voice sounded far more authentically mournfully American.

Well, that's "modern" relatively speaking. Nat Cutler went on to MASH 4077.

The Millionaire's checks don't even cover the rent anymore.
Oh, I know you're a bot for HF Underground and @rogue_corq is also likely to see this li'l thing that happened in one of his threads, but this needs to get posted in the Good Old Days thread of HFunderground dot com/board in the interest of some old timer belly laughs. This Fella probably doesn't know that Nibi-Nibi is a small island. For starters.
You know, @diana 🏳️⚧️🦋🌱 , the Sofa King really really really oughta hook up with OKC's Mattress King. Diff'rent Strokes.
Usually the first meal of a Monarch hatchling is his eggshell. His second meal is any other egg nearby, if there is one, and when a gravid female does an egg dump in her last days of life, it'll happen.
You ain't lived until you've been attacked by a pit bull butterfly who thinks you're the one trespassing on his territory.

Note to all born-yesterdays, it's a reference to the main character in Have Gun Will Travel
@womble , you're my kinda person. I rear butterflies too, and I was going to chime in about the Red Admiral. Yes they are indeed in N. America but in declining numbers. other butters eat Stinging Nettle, as it happens, like the Comma and the Painted Lady. You'll be doing pollinators a big favor there.
The butters I've currently taken into protective custody are the Eastern Black Swallowtails, but I've reared others including the Monarch.

The teensy #butterfly that is the Dainty Sulfur breeds on a host plant that makes humans cringe and cuss: Spanish Needles. In defense of growing Spanish Needles in my yard, it's a great security plant to grow if you have a problem with prowlers. You've heard of paint tagging an offender, I'm sure--but the seeds of the Spanish Needles hold fast to clothing and are a bitch to remove, so it performs very much like tagging a perp. Not to mention how CUTE these li'l guys are! When they flock around a growth of Spanish Needles, the bunch of 'em looks like yellow glitter.

A few years back, the #Common Buckeye had a huge baby boom over here. Not so much last year even though I have an ample supply of their host plant, Lanceleaf Plantain. They do host on other plants besides that, though. Here's one feasting on the flowers of a Monarch's favorite host plant, the #Honeyvine. YES Honeyvine IS a milkweed!
#WingedWednesday
Although #MonarchButterflies have had waning activity here, other butters have been making up much of the difference. Case in point, the overwintering Eastern Black Swallowtails that have come bustin' out all over.

Absolutely!!
Anybody who has gotten even one Hornworm on their homegrown tomato vine knows what a wrecking crew it can be!
Well, it's one of the reasons I never grow just one tomato--when they morph, they turn into a hummigbird moth, and they're just fascinating. #Hawkmoth #Hummingbirdmoth #SphinxMoth (the one in the pic isn't from a Tomato Hornworm but is similar)
Just only now finding my other monster caterpillar (#Monarch) JAWZ!
That other one I named Igor. #MyPhoto #MyWork
I did not know that. With that being the case, I'm putting in a good word vote for First Men in the Moon!
When it's late in the migration season and the Monarch cats I've taken into protective custody achieve adulthood, I know that I can give them a shortcut to the late migration route, since I know where it is already, and so when there's frost in the forecast, I know where they'll still be safe close to that route and provide limo service there.

#MonarchMonday
In a previous post I did say that there were not quite twice the number of Monarchs overwintering in Mexico than there were last year; The World Wildlife Fund has been keeping track, and here's their chart, which is still alarming even so.
There'll be more on the topic April 20th on "60 Minutes" when Monarch Watch retiree, Chip Taylor, gets interviewed.
