…otherwise known as the Monarch Butterfly!!!
This week I noticed there were two caterpillars munching on the milkweed that grows along the driveway. Soon they will each form a chrysalis and in a couple of weeks emerge as butterflies. Monarchs have been in decline in recent years, so I am happy if I can help a few more fly off into the world.

One of the caterpillars I remember as a child from books like the Little Caterpillar!!

What a cool shot! Such a pretty caterpillar, too.

He’ll be ready for his chrysalis soon! Nice shot! (The girls and I raised one once, which was fascinating. They named her Princess Stripey. Turns out Princess Stripey was actually Prince Stripey, but that’s sometimes just the way of things. š )

Ah, milkweed and monarchs! There are some seasonal things I do really miss on that side of the pond *sigh* š Thanks for sharing Tooks š

Very nice! I’m still trying to get a picture of an adult. They overwinter here but are camera shy around me!
