Hawaiian Monarch Caterpillar
I was surprised to see this caterpillar attached to the winged beans. Normally I will see the caterpillars munching on the butterfly weed’s leaves and flowers. I guess since I don’t have butterfly weed this time, they try to find other plants that they will be protected till they turn into a regular butterfly. I’m sure the transformation is spectacular, I wish I have a video camera in the garden to document how they transform themselves from caterpillar to a pupa to a beautiful butterfly. It would be a great sight to behold butterflies fluttering all over the garden.
