Eating, Growing and Moving....
These guys are getting big, fast.

I wouldn't be surprised if the larger two caterpillars were looking for a safe place to transform by tomorrow or Tuesday. They are getting big and eating everything in sight! The smaller caterpillar (the one from the egg I found) seems to be about one instar behind the larger two.
Usually how I find them...
upside down and eating to their hearts content

(ISO was pumped up high. It was raining outside and not a lot of window light to work with.)
G and I were out looking at the milkweed outside and found 5 new eggs! Not sure if the husband will let me bring more indoors... I'll keep you updated :)
Capturing the Moment,
