Thanks for the nice comments. I really love the color combination of these caterpillars with the red and yellow of the butterfly weed flowers. They chowed this entire plant in one afternoon!
Thank you all for the nice comments about the photos. I've been playing with a new lens and am amazed at how much detail I'm able to pick up! Amy, I've just spent 45 minutes on the Gardening Gone Wild site - WOW - it's an amazingly informative blog. Thanks for the recommendation! I'm looking forward to the Macro in a Mason Jar contest!
Beautiful!! Stunning light and complementary colors. . . what Monarch cater would not love eating flowers. I just love these little creatures and you have captured them so fabulously! What a joy! ;>)
WOW!!! You are an amazing photographer!!! I started to chuckle looking at the incredible photos. I could almost hear the caterpillars just munching away!! Those pix would be so cool on a calendar!!!
Wow Cat, gorgeous pictures!
ReplyDeleteMy daughters book of your post's title would be much more interesting with your photos.

ReplyDeleteMore gorgeous photos! I have been growing this milkweed for a few years and have never seen a caterpillar on them yet. Lucky you.
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos and the colours are brilliant.
ReplyDeleteWow - what amazing photos! I've never had the opportunity to see one of these in person. I think I need to grow some butterfly weed...
ReplyDeleteOh, those are great photos! Also, the butterfly weed is such a pretty shade of red with the yellow.
