I spotted the munching evidence and found a caterpillar on this purple passion vine in the morning and then took these photos after work. I counted at least 10. They were Gulf Fritillary caterpillars. (6/24/03)

When I bought the yellow milkweed nine days before taking this picture, I didn't know it had Monarch eggs on it until I found four of these eating when I got home from work this day. I have never seen Monarchs here, I guess that will change. (6/23/03)

Yet another Monarch Caterpillar. I'm not sure if the long antennae are on the front or the back, I think the front. (6/24/03)
