This is where the majority of our monarch caterpillars sit, on a half dozen plants. I've been hand watering the milkweed plants! Currently, there are three caterpillars in various stages of growth.
These are milkweed tussock moths. They started on one of the plants above, and I successfully moved them to another plant. I took the whole leaf, and set it on another leaf, on another plant. I thought that the two monarch caterpillars on the other plant would do better without them! Success!
In the goldfish pond, there are now 18 froggies seeking sanctuary here. This first one is just losing its tail. This is one I rescued from the dried up frog pond, down beyond the meadow. [The goldfish and frog pond]. They are all green frogs.
Down in the meadow, FOUR raccoons on the trailcam, plus Bucky 1!
Then there is our boy, Hooper.

You really know how to appreciate the nature in which you live.
Hooper looks like he is on a mission -- perhaps to be king over all those other critters?
You have such a wonderful wilderness around you!
A paradise garden for all to enjoy,live and thrive. Hooper, you are quite regal there.
Hooper walks with confidence, certain that his human staff won't find out about his digging around in the flowerbeds.
Lovely nature pics. You certainly see a lot of interesting things to take photos of.
Good to hear that people are seeing monarchs.
