A January Monarch. A few days ago I saw it as a fully developed caterpillar and wondered if it would survive. This is, after all, January.
Two days ago, still a caterpillar, it was hanging motionless on this Agave titanota leaf. "Might not make it," I thought. Nights are cold--the high 40's F. But it did, becoming a chrysalis.
One battle at a time.

Sweet! We're all rooting for your little chrysalis which looks especially handsome on the agave!
ReplyDeleteNice and sunny spot for it (when it isn't raining).
DeleteWonderful! That caterpillar picked a great place to hang his hat.
ReplyDeleteThere have been others, on other Agaves. It seems to work out successfully. :)
