I Needed This!

I'd be pretty despondent right now if I hadn't spotted this monarch caterpillar in the Pagedale Head Start pollinator garden recently--the first in several years; what with last week's headlines about a 45% reduction in invertebrates' population in the last 40 years and the likelihood of our entering a new mass extinction in general. At least planting milkweed is helping the monarch (and native bee) population recover a little.
