maybe, just maybe, I am obsessed with the Monarchs… I can’t even think of how many times I have gone by the milkweed to check on the caterpillars, lol…
saw more butterflies landing in the plant and maybe leaving eggs;-)…
there are small caterpillars, medium sized caterpillars and large caterpillars…
such fun to see where they are on the plant and how much they have munched through…
both of the biggest caterpillars vanished this morning… I was worried they had fallen off the milkweed because they were in leaves that were bent way over…
wasn’t sure if they were getting ready for the next step, but then found both of them in the lily of the valley… so I put them back on the milkweed…
now that I’ve done some research maybe they were moving on… apparently they can travel up to ten metres away from the milkweed to move to the chrysalish stage…
if they move again I will just search to see where they end up…
