Racing Stripes

This little caterpillar has pretty stripes along his sides. They made me think of racing stripes. This is a Yellow-striped Armyworm Moth caterpillar. I found it on online, so I edited my information. :0)

I saw the Monarch caterpillar this morning, but it was gone later iin the day. I hope it has gone to make a chrysalis and hasn't been eaten by a bird!

Thank you so much for all your kind comments, views, and faves! I'm still a little behind with my commenting. We had lunch with my stepson and his wife and were away from home most of the day. :0)
Great capture of this caterpillar. Beautiful shot. I don't know what type of caterpillar this is.
