A New Generation of Daneus Plexippus
Another Monarch caterpillar, yay! I am ridiculously excited!
Apparently, if you grow it--"it" being milkweed--they WILL come. This one is HUGE, most likely about to go into its chrysalis. I like to think this is a descendant of my special needs butterfly...
I really wanted to try to get some milkweed at my house this year so that I could get some Monarch butterflies. A teacher I work with was telling me about it, but I guess around here they are doing a seed saving/sharing thing to get them more widespread again - and they were all out of seeds. So, I will try again next year.
Wildly in love with my husband B., former guardian of the late, lamented Miss Tallulah Mae (the wonder dog), adorer of all canines, dilettantish crafter, obsessed with birds, vintage shopper, lover of libraries, neophyte cellist, and foziewisp.
