White-marked Tussock Moth
|
This is the little moth that came out of the cocoon (above, right).
This caterpillar hasn't gone into cocoon, yet.
Question mark butterfly larva, we just have to wait! There are now two in this corner!

Next thing I knew... pupa
And another! I found a gall on a weed, too.
Then, under the front deck: two more monarch have gone into chrysalis.
Then, I looked out at the goldfish pond and saw this! A big moth in the goldfish pond. I haven't ID'd it yet!

Then, in the front, the monarchs are doing their thing. This one is about to hatch. We were going away, so I couldn't watch it.
Turns out, it hatched the morning before we left for our anniversary trip to Gananoque! (More on that later!)
10 days to the day! |
We had two, and now two more.

Hello,
Cool captures of the caterpillars, moths and the Monarch! Enjoy your day, wishing you a great weekend!
Love the one on Froggies chin. We have scads of them on our various tractors.
The frog, that is the coolest place to hang, and when the butterfly hatches out, he will have a real friend!!!
Love the chrysalis on the chin!
They do come out looking so different!
nature is magical
You're like an old mother hen to these critters.
On the frog no less!
Looking forward,to your anniversary blog.
I witnessed a monarch emergence for the first time yesterday. It was wonderful. No doubt, it will be blogged.
Interesting critters.
