Together like a Monarch on Milkweed
August 24, 2019
A tiny monarch egg develops amidst the fuzzy folds of a milkweed seed pod. Monarch caterpillars feed almost exclusively on milkweed. When the larvae hatch, they will munch away on the milkweed leaves continuously until they are either eaten themselves, or are developed enough to start their metamorphosis into a Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus).
