insect life

Another swamp cicada.
Red-spotted purple butterfly (a swallowtail lookalike)
Monarch just emerging from its chrysalis under a daylily leaf.
Small butterfly with gray/russet checkered undersides to the wings- on my sweet potato vine. I think a skipper.
Found another tomato hornworm- on the sunberry bush. I don't mind if it eats some of the sunberry leaves. 
I let it alone. Because I would so like to see a sphynx moth (aka hawkmoth)
Closeup swallowtail caterpillar on the rue
Cicada wings on windowsill. The one I photographed last week must've been at the end of its life- probably why it didn't move much. Something ate it and left just the wings intact among debris.
