Tonight I went outside to water the plants and I couldn't find Mr. Snacks. That's the name I've given to the little monarch caterpillar. Suddenly I went into a panic. I searched all around the patio hoping he was still alive. I looked up and down the plant shelves and all over the milkweed he had been eating and still no Mr. Snacks. Then I spun the pot around and there he was underneath the lip on the edge of the pot. Whew! Thank goodness I didn't squish him! Now I know better just to leave things alone. It's cold tonight so he's just kind of hanging out there not moving much. I hope he's okay.
