Monarch Caterpillar

The Monarch Caterpillars are beautiful creatures. We often speak of the famous butterfly they become, but rarely take the time to admire the brightly colored caterpillar. They have simply "amazing" colors and can often be seen working there way around Milkweed plants. They are about 2-3/4 inches in length. They are toxic so birds will not eat them. I'm Mark Fraser you can find me at http://www.naturewalkswithmark.org

Did you know?

Monarch Caterpillars are only toxic because of the Milkweed foliage they eat?
One species of Butterfly called the "Viceroy" Mimics the monarch!
Monarch caterpillars are only one of "many" species of insect that feed solely on the Milkweed for survival!
