I was so very surprised to find a Monarch caterpillar today.
I guess the butterfly had a lot of faith, or knows we will have
a late freeze. I hope the little guy makes it.
You can also see the aphids on this Tropical Milkweed,
which by the way he decimated! These are the last leaves on the plant.

You have to wonder where these hid out during all the rain you had. Lovely image & I hope to see him full grown one day too.

Maybe you should put this guy in a big jar, and watch him change! Great capture, Petesie!

Looks like a little zebra caterpiller. Another good one, Petesie.
