Monarch Caterpillar

OK, so how do you crop the image when he has a head on both ends? ; D

This is the first one that I've seen this year. I've been letting milkweed grow around the house this year. If I still lived in the 'Burbs, the villagers would be sharpening their pitchforks & fueling their torches for a midnight foray to show me the error of my ways! ; D

I've been watching all Summer, & it seems that I missed the first two generations in April & June. If there even were any. I'll have to look even harder for a 2nd one now.
105mm f/2.5 Nikkor + 1" extension ring, f/11.

Glad to see someone else likes to see this stuff grow.

My mother would not be amused at what her garden looks like now! I'm just trying to give the little guys a chance.

Nice shots! I let a bunch of it grow in my horse pasture this year too! Old habits die hard!

Thank you, & good for you for letting it grow! Yesterday & found 4 more of them about 2" long, & one tiny one about 5/8" long. So I have a little more hope for them.
