Found another one

 Our Gulf Fritillary catepillars are hale and hearty and I found another Chrysalis, it has been there for several days. It seems to be hidden from our Lizards.

    What a find and what a good picture.
    Those critters best stay off the 'maters if they want to learn to fly.

    Your new header is gorgeous! It goes well with the black background.

    I am at awe with caterpillars!

    This one is kind of creepy and evil looking. I would think it is poison, sis. So watch out with Jake and Baby. Only because bugs and snakes that are very brightly colored are nature's way of saying watch out, I am poison. I missed the play house in my own picture, duh!

    I have seen the butterflies but not the caterpillars or chrysalis. Thanks, Teach. I treasure this new-to-me bit of natural history.

    From the size of these caterpillars, it looks like the lizards would have a fair-sized snack, Sandra.

    By "our" caterpillars, you mean you, Baby and Jake, right? Cause if Bob's found it.... well, you know. ;)

    Great pics. I hope the one in the chrysalis makes it so we can see the photos. Love the bright yellow flower & bees banner! :)

    Oh my, even as a caterpillar they are pretty. I wonder if there little 'hairs' are soft or sticky?
    Hopefully the Chrysalis will stay hidden from the lizards.
