“A season of loneliness and isolation is when the caterpillar gets its wings. Remember that next time you feel alone.” (Mandy Hale, The Single Woman: Life, Love, and a Dash of Sass) Another very spiky caterpillar. One of the attendants in the butterfly garden said the spikes are soft and just for a show to scare off predators.
I get 3 of these lovelies in my garden eating my Desert Rose every summer. Do I mind? No, because they only eat milkweed plants and turn into beautiful creatures.
