It's Sunday and I don't feel like putting up with the hair on fire folks. I have more important things to accomplish today. Like enjoying all what God has done. I love going to the garden in the early morning.
The egg that I took from a milkweed plant, on the other side of our pool area, hatched! I saw the monarch lay an egg, when it landed on the leaf of the milkweed! Soon as I saw that I grabbed it and this morning it is exploring a giant leaf, to start eating. It was way smaller than that when it hatched. The other day I was looking for the egg and it was gone. I knew it must have hatched. This morning it was there!
All 4 now are chowing down! The one different one I have, is the black and orange Golf Firillary caterpillar. LINK This one is very interesting. Their wings look like shiny leather. Very bright and beautiful! Here is a picture of one. We have these on our property. Also seen hanging around the passion vine/flower by my trellis planted in the butterfly garden.
