The Life of a Monarch, Part 6

{continued from part five}

The caterpillars are doing fine, but we're discovering that wasps eat, or at least kill the caterpillars, which is sad. But that is probably why there were so many eggs laid. We still have a fair amount of caterpillars (including Tallulah) that are still happily eating their way to becoming butterflies. :)

This here is an assassin bug, and there are quite a few on our plant. From what I know (which isn't much) they eat flies, and other bugs of the same sort. I just thought I'd throw this picture in with the others so you'd see something other than Monarch caterpillars for once. ;)
