First sighting of Monarch Butterfly larva. Caterpillar had been on the milkweed then crawled away and spun onto the underside of a hibiscus bush. I just spotted it, but it looks like the butterfly should be emerging anytime soon.
Also - we had about 15 eggs...but only 3 caterpillers. I think the wasps are the culprits?
