Monarch..

Spotted this guy on my swan plant the day of the Flood of Jan 2023.. And have just checked and I can't see them, so hopefully they have gone to turn into a chrysalis. So lucky I have at least got this capture.

A terrific capture - hopefully he’s scampered off to turn into a chrysalis.

It definitely looks big enough to become a chrysalis. We had swan plants a few years ago with lots of caterpillars; it was great watching them progress.

A very striking caterpillar! He will grow into a very beautiful butterfly!

Fabulous capture! I love the colourful tiger-like stripes. Amazing to think this will metamorphose into a wonderful butterfly.
