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.
