Monarch Discovery

[SSimsswiSS]

Was running out the door the work this morning and discovered I had a bunch of caterpillars in my front yard. I had a Monarch butterfly hatch out last year in my Nosy Be enclosure. Wonder if these guys are a generation or two related, to that single chrysalis last summer? I'd like to think my garden is now a stop off on their north / south fly route.

Don't feed those to your chameleon if you don't already know.

Yes, This is a good advisory. Do not feed your chameleons this insect. They feed on a specific plant that leaves a bad taste in the mouth of any animal that might prey on them. This is how they get by looking so pretty. One taste and the birds know, never to try them as a snack again.
