June 25, 2019

Location: Vero Beach, private residence

I am a mature Zebra Longwing larvae
That's my younger sibling, shown here on the left
Although he is smaller and cuter than me,
I am much better dressed!

(Note: The bestie mentioned in my blog a few days ago brought it to my attention that if you click on the May 13th blog picture to enlarge it, you can see that the lady bug is eating light green aphids. How cool is that?! And I never even noticed!)
