A surprise find
What a wonderful surprise that I found while cleaning up the enclosure for the caterpillars and adding fresh food today. Right near where one of the Monarchs pupated was a newly hatched Gulf Fritillary caterpillar. Apparently when I brought in fresh passionvine the last time there was an egg on it that I didn't see. Thankfully it wasn't eaten by the older caterpillar.
My concern is that it will eat the leaf that the Monarch chrysalis is on. I will probably have to either move the caterpillar or re-locate the chrysalis.

Re: A surprise find
I wish that I could say that the little sneak survived but it didn't. They are so vulnerable at that age.

Re: A surprise find
It was nice to find two more in the garden after losing the youngster. I know by now that you can't always win in this game of life.

Re: A surprise find
Despite the loss I did still beat the odds of only 10% surviving to adulthood.

Re: A surprise find
What a pity that doesn't seem to extend to the lotto. Oh boy what I could do with millions of dollars. I can guarantee that I would be buying the empty lot behind us and turning it into a whole new garden. Of course with that kind of money I would have to break down and hire some help.

Re: A surprise find
I hear ya! Hubby and I play twice a week. I think with the way the economy is going, the lottery may have better odds than our 401 plan!
