Monarch caterpillars have eaten tropical milkweeds down to sticks. Native milkweeds (A. speciosa and fascicularis) remain untouched. |

Since then, I've seen monarch caterpillars in strange places, looking for their next meal—on the driveway, exterior stucco, and pictured below on Lepisorus bicolor. |

| Update 07-15-2016: Unbeknownst to me the monarch caterpillar formed chrysalis on fern. I saw the butterfly emerging. |

June gloom is no more. In the low 90s today. Crows are sitting in the pine, beak panting from the sudden heat. |

Cleaned out pond of soggy pizza remenants and animal bones. Crow water is disgusting. Surprised to find mosquito larvae in running water. Need to purchase mosquito eater fish. |
