Not.a smart move....

As happens every year the monarch caterpillars have decimated our small number of swan plants. Over the past week I have bought a numnber of new plants to try and provide enough food to get the caterpilars to the  chrysallis stage.  Today several have attached themselves to a leaf which, at the rate they are being demolished isn't going to be there for long.  I will need to keep an eye on them
