Yep, they eat & poop at the same rate, & keeping their habitat clean is most important. You can actually hear them chewing if you have them in a very quiet place!

Monarch caterpillars
Caterpillars fight too, & not because a lack of food. A bud might be a tasty morsel, a bloom could be a delightfully dessert!
Hahaha look at the posturing & heads on each of them! A butterfly fight! My money is on the monarch
Monarch & gulf fritillary
Thanks! I’m ready anytime!
Here’s something you rarely see. A male monarch wanted that zinnia that a gulf fritillary was nectaring on so he just landed there to chase away the gulfie. However, gulfie said nope & after this shot a fight ensued
Right, I appreciate the heads up Lou! Enjoy your weekend!

Monarch caterpillars are silly!
Yes they have personalities. Here’s a story for you about Big Daddy, he had so much personality! I raised butterflies in a public garden for a while & Big Daddy was notches above the rest
I will be, waiting on them now. Butterflies make a chrysalis, moths make a cocoon, things I didn’t know until I got into this. I’ll just be raising a few at a time, it’s a lot of work even on a small scale to keep everything clean. Mostly I do it as only 1-3% of caterpillars make it to butterfly
I finished digging the areas I’ve been working on, planted milkweeds galore. Purple passion vine, red salvia, blue plumango bushes I had & even though I’m not a fan of lantana, it was here so I trimmed the crap out of them & then planted the zinnia & echinacea seeds. Excited for the color explosion
Monarchs & Queens. The leaves are narrow so I usually move caterpillars to the other milkweeds. Big fat caterpillars go on the giant, I put smaller ones on other varieties, they can chew them more easily.
Exactly! They started doing it in Mpls downtown where used to be offices & such. How perfect, a skyway that covers most of downtown without having to go out in -30 below

Anytime Stephen, have a fabulous weekend eve & weekend ☮️💙🐸
Ihkellett I'm so damn tired of the US cycle where Republicans kill our economy, move wealth to the richest 1%, and start a war and then Dems have to clean it up. Then once they get on the right path, Americans are impatient or fixate on some GOP created culture war, and think they should have fixed it all in less than 2 years and re-elect GOP liars who will start the cycle again. Absolutely exhausting.
