Monarch Catapillars

This is one of the many we have in our garden. two weeks after hatching and five centimeters long and looking for a place to hang and change into a chrysalis. this year we have given fifty away to new homes as they were decimating our stock of swann plants. We still have thirty left but thankfully most are now at the stage where they are ready for changing into a chysalis. So hope full the plants will have time to recover ready for the next onslaught of eggs and catapillars.
