Monarch Caterpillar

Super excited – I just noticed a monarch caterpillar starting to build a cocoon on the side of the house off the porch. He’s just hanging on by a bit of silk. He’s not moving, so I hope that’s part of the process and he didn’t just die when he got to this point. I will continue to monitor the situation.

This is about 24 hours later, all cocooned up and cozy.
