We are already approaching the 3rd generation of monarchs here in the south metro. We have a few stragglers finishing this generation with 2 caterpillars and 2 chrysalises. We expect one monarch to be born tomorrow - the bigger of the two.
Other creatures who have taken up residence:
Our American Tree Frog, Kermy, does not want to leave the nest. I finally brought him in for the evening after he spent the day hopping back and forth between the open aquarium and the bushes. He likes being served his spiders instead of trying to hunt them down...
Sylvester, the snake, was discovered in the woodpile today by Papa and his student helper. He is still waiting in the bucket until he can be identified. I want to keep him until I can buy a mouse to feed him. I think that would be fun to watch...for research purposes, of course...
