Again with the bugs, it's drivin' me buggy.

"Evfurry year Lynn brings in these pillar thing-a-ma-jigs and molly coddles them."



"It cuts into my purrsonal time for brushies and
luvin's and feedin'.  I protest."


5 days old Monarch, about pencil lead size

"When they hatch and kin fly I am not allowed to chase them.
I luv to chase flyin' bugs."


3 weeks old


4 weeks and starting chrysalis 


"SHE thinks I'm gonna babysit acause they're some kinda
Cat Monarch!  They are not gonna rule me."



"Fur now,  I'll just nap.  These things are b-o-r-i-n-g."

(psst, Lynn here,  don't tell HER but I have 
lots more babies.)




Thank you for stopping by for a visit and a comment.
It is much appreciated.

  2. It doesn't seem a year since you last had Monarchs to look after. It's so good that you do it, though

  3. Gosh, how quickly the time has flown, no pun intended. Precious, I'm pretty sure you'll still get lots of brushies and attention....when you want it. Plus Lynn is helping an important species at risk. 😊

    Happy Friday! Our heat wave has broken and it feels SO good to have cool air, at least for a bit! I hope you're getting a break from the heat and humidity too!

  4. Those are nice little critters sweet Precious but napping probably is a good option!

    Thank you Lynn for you TLC

  6. Oddly, I find those bugs fascinating -- as long as they're not in my house! You should keep those closeups of the daring darlings and make an artwork of them. I also found the closeups of you very entertaining, Precious. Keep up the good work and thanks for visiting Dani.

  8. It seems no time since your mom was last looking after them.
    Off course you are far more beautiful than them, but they will be beautiful in time.

  10. Precious, don't you worry. Lynn will still make sure that YOU get every brushie and leg time you want

  11. Oh I am sure you will not miss out on any lap time & brushies dear Precious. I remember each summer when Lynn brings the monarch caterpillars indoors. I must remember to do this next summer if my shrub survives the winter. The paper wasps get my eggs & caterpillars & are a real pest here now. You always seem to have good success with yours Lynn.
    Have a nice weekend - it was zero degrees this morning here. Pippi got into bed, under the blankets, it was so cold. Blackie of course - well he has more "layers & coverings" than the others do!!! x0x

  12. We have plenty of milkweed plants, but haven't seen any caterpillars...yet.

  13. Make sure you don't eat any milkweed- it is poisonous. XO
