neverspentSaturday I traveled from the city to the farm, and it was an excellent day for wildlife sightings. I'll write more about that later, but I wanted to give this handsome monarch caterpillar its own post.
My dad, who grew up on farms in Kansas where milkweed was a considerable enemy, would like to see more monarchs, I'm sure. Down here, neither milkweed nor monarchs are common or uncommon. I assume the fellow I met on Saturday was a fourth generation monarch and will be migrating to Mexico after he pupates and emerges with his wings.
Good luck, fellow!

Stunning outfit, what a shame we can't all adopt that fashion
