Caterpillar

This lone caterpillar was living on (eating!) my baby swan plant. The day after I took this photo there were no leaves left and the caterpillar had disappeared. Hopefully he'll turn into a monarch butterfly in due course.

@dide @barb_b @amandal @cheekylulu @susiemc @phil_howcroft @ditzy @emma78 @rickster549 Thanks very much everyone.
@deborah63 Thanks and lol!
@alinz Sadly I don't think my plant is going to get as big as those were having already been eaten. I wonder if they regrow leaves?
