A Face-Full of Flower


	A Faceful of Flower Captured last year in my garden - a monarch-to-be caterpillar is having the time of it's life feeding on my tropical milkweed. About 100 or so (no exaggeration) of these hungry fellas covered my plants - and also ate every stem, leaf and flower, leaving just a skeleton of the plant behind. Voracious critters....but glad to help out the next generation of migratory monarchs heading down Mexico way. Val Feldman

Wonderful capture Val. I see you had a nice crop of aphids too. Need the ladybugs to move in and take care of them. Nature is so fascinating, and you've captured a nice quaint part of it all.

A very pretty and colourful capture Miss Val, and I love the clarity of your little caterpillar! I do believe you, about how many there are on your plants, but just wait until they turn into beautiful butterflies!!
