American Monarch Caterpillar
Danaus plexippus
34.06, -84.54
Field Notes
Description:
I spotted this fat little caterpillar head-down having already eaten most of the pod of a Fewflower milkweed (Asclepias lanceolata) in a butterfly garden. Monarchs love milkweed!
Habitat:
In North America, the monarch ranges from southern Canada to northern South America - and is famous for its mass migrations. Although native to North and South America, it has expanded its distribution to Australia, many Pacific islands, and a few places in Europe
Notes:
Spotted on in a backyard flower garden in Kennesaw, GA.
