No caterpillar left behind...


Well, our happy little Fritillary caterpillars have been munching away all season and although I didn't think they could do it....they have eaten every last bit of our very large, lush passion vine!

Oh no! There's nothing worse than hungry, hungry caterpillars! Fortunately I spotted a lovely passion vine near the pond, so we decided to move the little guys to their new buffet :o)

The stripped Passion Vine!












Clyde is collecting all the little guys {doggies are helping}.



Hooray!
Our new passion vine home...let's eat!










A happy Gulf Fritillary Butterfly!
{probably getting ready to lay MORE eggs}
The silver spots on the wings undersides make her easy to identify...

Caterpillar rescue accomplished!
