I ...I have been enjoying your blog this lunch time. I am very impressed that despite your obvious love of your garden and plants you are prepared to share them with other creatures. I love seeing the butterflies, eggs, caterpillars and chrysalises you have photographed. Whenever I go abroad I get very excited abou the butterflies I may see and your blog has brought back those feelings! You paint such a lovely picture of the Philippines. I wonder if I can persuade my wife that it would be a great place for a family holiday!Nick Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06431235724349702199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4747604230045436342.post-83847951913645975612012-12-03T16:08:42.068+08:002012-12-03T16:08:42.068+08:00amazing photos of those ugly critters :)amazing photos of those ugly critters :)Kaz @ Melting Momentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04178176300022588861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4747604230045436342.post-57181427801343943332012-12-03T11:45:27.051+08:002012-12-03T11:45:27.051+08:00Yes Donna, they are feasting now, because i just a...Yes Donna, they are feasting now, because i just allow them.

Sometimes, i even wish them to eat more to finish the still very delicious leaf, I think they are already full. They can control themselves more than us! I guess it is a good topic, get lessons from the caterpillar! haha!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05848957958059476177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4747604230045436342.post-80691539905925224072012-12-03T11:01:50.865+08:002012-12-03T11:01:50.865+08:00It really is annoying at sight, but because it is ...It really is annoying at sight, but because it is always like that when you see them in the morning, i just let them be. The akapulko is not very useful for us, besides it is in the edge of the property, so i am also happy for the photo-ops! You should wait for my next post, because my beautiful red caladium is also eaten by pink larvae!

Now there's again a second batch of larvae even more than the first batch. I hope they are happy in their generation, hopefully I can see more yellow butterflies next time around. By the way my other pink caladium now has 3 pink moth larvae, same morphology as the previous larvae but of different color. They are beautiful which i will post next time.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4747604230045436342.post-27522367596857127672012-12-02T11:19:33.798+08:002012-12-02T11:19:33.798+08:00hahaha, yes If you only have seen the other kinds...hahaha, yes If you only have seen the other kinds of moth larva, you will be amazed as there are many colors, but the morphology are almost the same.
