Backyard and Beyond

Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.

As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”

Monarch Monday

A centimeter-long Monarch caterpillar. Spotted on Saturday at the patch of Common Milkweed where I found six Monarch eggs two weeks ago.

I also spotted an adult on Saturday, unexpectedly flushing it from a lawn-like part of Green-Wood. Twas too quick for a photo.
