babies

i have baby caterpillars hatching all over the place. these darling little things are less than a 1/8" long. they immediately start eating the milkweed leaves.

i am scrambling to make sure i have enough milkweed to feed them. i roam the neighborhood looking for milkweed. i found 2 neighbors who have pretty good size plants in their yard. i run back up to the nursery to get 2 more plants.

i'm ready.

this is their second stage of life... the caterpillar, or larvae.
