While @zahrasommers was visiting we popped out to show her a monarch caterpillar and ended up walking and walking for ages to find one. Isn't that always the way? Usually I see them on most milkweeds, but it was a long march to find this one having a good snack. Thank you for the awesome comments on my photos and being with me here
They are certainly gorging on that plant and their bodies are fat and squidgy !! soon to develop into pupas (chrysalis ) Lovely capture aren't they beautifully coloured and marked ! - fav
@beryl yes I love the markings on their caterpillars - and this is just one single caterpillar, the mouth end is at the bottom of the image :) It does kind of look like two of them!
