Danaus plexippus
Caterpillar, yellow, black an white. I believe this little guy got OUT OF ITS CAGE and got caught in a spider web. ;(
Garden, outside, home.
I actually found it in a spider web... Maybe it was the shell of the catipillar? When I found it in the web, it was shriveled up and not alive.
Are you sure it got trapped in a spider web? Monarchs have silk glands and can make silk. That's how they attach themselves to things before they make their cocoons.
Cool! I wish I could with this guy... Did you hear? Unfortunately her/he got out of its cage and got trapped in a spider web... ;(
Kept about 5 of these guys and watched them grow and let them go when they came out of the cocoon.
