Milkweed Mania - Monarch Butterfly Caterpillar

Doubled up:

These two caterpillars are very busy eating. Look how much bigger they are than the one above. They are about 1 inch long.

Chomp, chomp chomp.

Chew, chew chew.

Too busy to talk today,

Goodbye to you!

I hope they are good at sharing. Actually, they will each move to a new leaf when they eat up this one.

Have you noticed that all the caterpillars are on the underside of the leaves?
