My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Help Identifying caterpillar & egg?

12 years ago

Hi there. Hoping someone sees this soon! I found this little guy crawling on my swamp milkweed. The leaf was kind of rolled up around him. Doesn't look like a monarch caterpillar to me. Anyone know what this is?

Also including a picture of 1 of 2 eggs I found on my other swamp milkweed on the other side of the garden. Hoping these are monarch eggs. Thank you for your help!
