The Race is on....

The swan plant is covered in caterpillars and they are starting to get a little aggresive to get to munch on the leaves...

[Dawn]

They have enormous appetites fabulous capture

[Margo]

As long as they dont come into my garden!! FAV

[julia]

@777margo These guys only eat Swan Plant ( Milk weed) so they are good caterpillars...

[Maggiemae]

What happens when all the plant is gone? Do they fall off and turn into princesses?

[Sam]

It's a fight for the last of the leaf!

[Dianne]

Looks like a mirror image. Love all the detail - can almost hear them munching!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Stunning capture , like @dide I also thought at first it was a mirror image !! fav

[Pat Knowles]

Very striking caterpillar, you couldn't miss them! Poor plant it doesn't stand a chance!

[julia]

@happypat They get stripped every year but they seed down well and a lot more come up in time for next year,..

[Walks @ 7]

We are still a couple of month's away from this type of thing so I enjoy this a great deal.

[Babs]

Excellent shot and timing. We have two white cedar trees and the caterpillars have surfaced on them this last week. a bit late in the year, we thought we had eradicated them at the end of last year, but no.

[Rachel]

This is so wonderful, with two on them on the same leaf.

[Kerri Michaels]
