Well, here it is - a bunch of short video clips I made a couple of nights ago of the Monarch Butterfly Caterpillars in action. These aren't NatGeo quality, but they're not bad given the short time frame, late afternoon, and I had to assemble the correct equipment (camera that had a quick release plate) and tripod, all before things quieted down for the evening. Then I had to squeeze in among the plants and try not to knock anybody off or step on any. Anyway, there's a few head jabs, some fun looks at how they devour the leaves one chomp at a time, like eating corn on the cob. Also just fun watching them move. There were a few ants in there too crawling around and I'm pretty sure they annoy the caterpillars. I did mention tripod, so any movement is the work of nature - a light wisp of breeze now and then. Do enjoy.
