Well, the bug excitement just doesn't end today. I mowed the lawn this evening, and just I was heading back inside, I spotted something crawling on my milkweed.
It was a monarch caterpillar!
I was sort of hoping, but not expecting, that growing milkweed would play host to a monarch caterpillar.
I mainly just wanted to feed them.

I called my daughter out, because she's into bugs and stuff. While I was showing it to her, she spotted another bug on the milkweed. Asked me what it was, and I think it might be a milkweed beetle, which I'd never heard of before. This plant choice is nonstop winning for me.
