We have one caterpillar casualty. The one that was staying at the top of his container must have climbed out one of the small holes. He was there this morning. They are on a card table with a red, white and blue tablecloth. I checked everywhere. I don't know how far he could go in 8 hours. It's kind of funny even though it's sad. I hope he turns up, or maybe in a couple of weeks there will be a random butterfly flying around the house! This never happened before!🐛🦋
Chris @GGsister2 gifted me the Giadzy sauce for my bday, so the meatballs basically made themselves. 😂 What’s something someone bought you that inspired a great meal—or a spectacular kitchen fail?
P.S. it's not my birthday. I just took a while to use my sister's birthday gift.

More on this, and then I'll move on. Why didn't I know this??? He could be anywhere by now! From Co-pilot:
Monarch caterpillars typically travel a few feet to about 30 feet from their milkweed plant to find a safe pupation site, though some may go as far as 70–85 feet.
Caterpillar Wandering Behavior
When a monarch caterpillar reaches its fifth and final instar, it stops feeding and begins a wandering phase to locate a secure site for pupation. This behavior is driven by survival instincts, as staying on the milkweed exposes the caterpillar to predators like wasps, spiders, and birds. By moving away, the caterpillar reduces the risk of being eaten during its vulnerable pupal stage and seeks a structurally stable location for its chrysalis.
Typical Travel Distances
Short distances: Most caterpillars travel only a few feet up to about 10 feet to find a suitable perch
Moderate distances: In garden or natural settings, ...
Hey Gutter friends.
My hometown in NW Indiana had a severe wind event yesterday.
straight line 100 mph winds. Devastating. That's CAT 2 hurricane force.
My brother lost his big trees which fell across his power line and crashed through his roof. He called me and I could tell he was almost in tears 😔
Now this morning little Maxwell is sick. Took him to our vet and he has bad numbers so they are keeping him.
Kristin is so worried. I am too but he is in good hands.
Damn, what a year.
