Hope Springs Eternal

Considering that I've only seen 2 monarch butterflies in the backyard, I was quite surprised to come across this monarch caterpillar this afternoon. Hope he makes it!

Great shot. Good luck to him. Looks pretty big.

Wow he looks big, and a little late in the season don't you think!

[Milanie]

@radiogirl We'll see them still here for another month yet - though this year, who knows!

Great capture. Saw my first caterpillar yesterday and will probably get it on soon. Got to figure out what it is. But since there seems to be limited number of bf's, guess it shouldn't be too hard.
