Canibal Caterpillars�

2001-07-05

Thanks to The Finn for his help in identifying my leaf eating birds. Goldfinches in Southern California, whodda thunk it. I thought all we had was sparrows.

I have about a half a dozen caterpillars in the butterfly box I made. A couple I'm pretty sure are Admiral Butterfly larvae. Most of the rest are Gulf Frittillaries, but there's one I've never seen before. I need to take a picture of it before it goes into pupation. With that many caterpillars in one place I'm hoping that there is no such thing as a canibal caterpillar.
