We have so many caterpillers in the garden at Paul Bunyan Nature Learning Center that we had to just bring in a few and put them in a little cage with some of the milkweed. Three of the four attached themselves to the cover of the cage while the fourth attached itself to a stick. There are probobly more than fifty out in the garden... we're going to have so many Monarch Butterflies by next week...

Aren't monarchs amazing? As if it weren't enough just to turn into a butterfly, they do it in style with their jewl-studded chrysalis..great shot

This is a beautiful shot. And you caught it at a perfect time for the color and ripe fullness. I hope you're around as the color starts to show through and they start to emerge. I don't think we have any good shots of that process.
