My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

faux butterfly eggs!?!

14 years ago

why do butterflies lay false eggs? The reason I ask is because I found 3 eggs on my hop vine, but they were all empty...but unhatched at the same time. why would a butterfly waste energy laying eggs with no embryo? it just seems pointless to me!
