Munching Machines...

The Monarchs were late coming into the garden ... but they are making up for lost time.. only just discovered small caterpillars over the weekend and they are growing very rapidly.. Went out with my 50mm plus extention tube .. They are munching their way through several swan plants..

A wonderful close up of this beauty, I do feel sorry for the plants though ;-)

I love the butterflies, but I may still be bitter about some beautiful parsley plants which were ravaged by caterpillars.
