#MonarchMonday
I've been behaving myself on this instance so far, but be ye warned that when it's Caturday, I'll post caterpillar pictures. They're cats too.
This pic is of a 5th instar cat eating the peel off of a seed pod of a milkweed vine called Honeyvine. Too often it's not recognized as a milkweed and is removed under the belief that it is "invasive". It is not--its "problem" is that the seeds are highly vigorous and they don't all emerge at the same time; the ones that delay, or emerge during the pre-fall emergence event, give the impression that they've come up from neighboring vines. They do NOT.
