Catapillars

Today I counted 8 caterpillars on my swan plant - which is now looking a little worse the wear for hosting the caterpillars. They just appeared. Those monarch butterflies must have been doing the business on that plant.
Now I await the further developments - and must remember to carefully hose where the swan plant is located. I could google (and probably will at some stage) to find out all the technical details - but for now I am just enjoying watching the rapid progress without any need for scientific detail.
Having never did fifth form science I am enjoying my swan science project. It would be my top tip to encourage young children to take interest in the garden.
