A long walk down the old railway track and I found a couple of caterpillars. I had met a biologist earlier this year that told me Monarch butterflies only lay their eggs on milkweed plants. Apparently the milkweed has something in it that keep predators away. Nature is truly amazing.
I am really impressed by the shadows of the caterpillar's hairs on the leaf.

This little ant walked into the shot and provides some scale to the image.
I am not entirely sure if this is a monarch butterfly caterpillar or not. But it is on a milkweed plant.
