POTD 9/9/23

September 09, 2023  •  2 Comments

ON TO THE NEXT STAGE - A Monarch Butterfly caterpillar starts to curl into a "J-shape" before molting for the last of several times and entering into the chrysalis stage. We've been watching the caterpillars on the milkweed plants - and then looking for one to settle, since they crawl away from the milkweed plant before turning into a chrysalis. This one attached to the underside of a decorative bean plant on a trellis.
