While camping at Prince Galitzen...this butterfly flew onto my hand. I admired it as it moved about very slowly....then ...ughh....it flew off my hand onto the table and.......died.
The very next day this critter was crawling about on that same table.....I no absolutely nothing about butterflies.....but I thought this caterpillar could very well be a monarch ?? Anyone know?

The butterfly is definately a Monarch.Something to say wrote:The very next day this critter was crawling about on that same table.....I no absolutely nothing about butterflies.....but I thought this caterpillar could very well be a monarch ?? Anyone know?
However, monarch butterfly caterpillars have many very noticable bands around the WIDTH of their body.
I'd say that's a young mapleworm MOTH caterpillar.
How do I remember these things?

Re: Butterfly
You must put out good vibes for the little critter to sit on your hand and pose for you.
