Oh My! Big Caterpillars!

Whoa! Look what I found munching on the Scarlet Milkweed today.

Quite the little acrobat. And voraciously hungry from the looks of things!

Also a contortionist!  So why aren't I upset by this caterpillar, and another one further down on the same plant, stripping all these leaves? Well, because....

This is what they turn into!
I love Monarch butterflies. It was a real joy to stand there and have this beautiful creature fly and glide all around me. Flitting up into the air, coasting along on the breeze, then gently fluttering back to the flowers.

Then off again! They add such beauty and magick to our everyday world. They're one of those little things that make Life so Astoundingly Wonderous!
