| The monarch caterpillars are voracious eaters, and they eat nothing but milkweed. |
 |
| It's fascinating to watch them grow from little ones about the size of a fingernail paring... to BIG guys. |
 |
| As they grow, they shed their skin and emerge fatter... and ready to eat lots more! |
 |
| We noticed this caterpillar constructing the chrysalis from which the butterfly will emerge. |
 |
| They strip off their skin and seal up the chrysalis until the butterfly emerges. |
 |
| Unfortunately we didn't get to see a butterfly emerge, but here's what they leave behind. |
