“Detective Joshua” decided to take on a new disguise. He is dressed in his monarch caterpillar apparel. On his head he is wearing one of my fuzzy hats. Today he is searching for monarch caterpillars.
While outside a new butterfly flew to my garden, a queen butterfly! Like monarchs they also lay eggs on milkweeds.
Queen butterflies are a darker color and have more white spots on their wings. Even though these to butterflies look very similar their caterpillars look completely different.
After a lot of waiting I finally got a picture of a queen butterfly laying eggs on my milkweed. Look how it curls its abdomen to lay a tiny egg.
Here is one egg the queen butterfly laid. It is so amazing how this tiny egg can grow to be a beautiful butterfly. I believe only an all powerful God could of created such a beautiful creation.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1
How exciting! Those are amazing picture. I have Monarch larva now, haven't seen any "queens" yet.
