    I found several more monarch caterpillars on my milkweed patch today. I'd like to see more female monarchs come and lay more eggs, but I'll take what I can get.

    Love the composition of that shot Jane. The caterpillar is sharp focus with striking colours. Interesting that he is feeding on buds. Very good shot.
