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.

Thanks Yves. They eat every part of the plant.

Description
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.
