On the barbie cover, my tomato plant, the orchid planter, the old barbie table, the new chairs on the deck and even on the wall boards of the house! Only a day ago the Swan plant still had a few leaves ....but now~
and this caterpillar is on my tomato plant....at 9.00am this morning and by 12.00 he was in his cocoon
so in a few weeks... we'll be invaded by the Monarchs.
Thanks for visiting today... hope you enjoyed this little touch of nature.
Cheers
Dawn

WOW! Thanks for sharing, Dawn - does this happen EVERY year or on some cycle every several years?
Man I have never seen anything like that! Like Lin, I am wondering is this a yearly occurrance or something unusual. It must be absolutely glorious when the butterflies emerge!
Wow Dawn thanks for sharing. What a wonderful thing to have happen in your backyard. Even if you got some unwanted pruning done ;). My Emsy would have loved to have seen this, she loves this sort thing xoxoxo
Thanks for sharing this, Dawn! I think the Monarchs are so beautiful and I just saw a documentary report about them flying from the US to Mexico - but I wouldn't like them to eat my plants so much :)
Have a great weekend! Vanessa x
Oh my goodness, that is some amazing transformation! Thanks for sharing, I have never seen this in real life!
Wow Dawn, this is amazing, your poor plants. It must be wonderful when the butterflies emerge though!
WOW- thx so much for sharing this! I hope you will be able to take some more as things develop. I'd love to see! Such a treat in your own back yard!!
So cool! Should be really interesting if they all hatch in the same time period.
