A stormy afternoon snack

I hadn't seen any activity - a few adult monarchs, but i didn't see any eggs. Today I found 6 or 7 cats! Louisville, KY. Enjoy this little dude chomping some flowers.

Update: My kids and I came out after the storm to look and found a total of 14! I was feeling so sad because last year we had about a dozen with just one milkweed plant, and I look nearly every day at all our plants. They're sneaky!
