Stow away Caterplier

This little guy was a found amongst our milkweed a few weeks ago. He was really small and would require a lot of milk weed to turn into a chrysalis. I got desperate and started feeding him the milkweed I'd grown from seeds all summer. The little bugger ate all of it. Now he's transforming into a butterfly. I can't wait to meet him or her.

It's Monarch time again!

Here's what we've been doing! We were asked to be part of the tagging program at our local Butterfly park. We headed over to gather a few caterpillars, and end up with a lot. They changed into crystalis over the last few days. Watching them spin into this stage is incredible. So now we wait about 10 days for them to come out.
