I planted a ton of new milkweed this year and was worried the monarchs wouldn’t find it….I found 8 little baby caterpillars and this beauty came to visit today. She was figuring out her wings and letting them dry a bit in the sun. Don’t mind me, just crying in the garden 😭
(The fig isn’t native, I know haha. Her name is Figarella and she lives in the goldenrod/butterfly milkweed bed; I love her.)

*Drying his wings. Males have those two black spots on each wing. Lovely to see it though! Hopefully he has good game and helps give you some more cats!
