Caught on camera...
With the arrival fall, our furry friends are bit busy getting ready for the upcoming winter, and so, they happy to cede the stage to other campus critters… caterpillars. Found anywhere on campus, but especially around the vegetation of the lakes, caterpillars can be found on almost any and every plant and tree. But, if you really want to see a monarch caterpillar, then you should go to one plant, the milkweed plant. The only caterpillar who likes to munch on their leaves, milkweed plants are monarch caterpillar central. On spotting a monarch caterpillar on a milkweed plant around St. Mary’s Lake, Fr. Terry Ehrman, CSC, theologian and botanist, said, “Winter’s coming so he better keep on munching.”
BUT THERE'S STILL MORE...
... but no one knows who this guy is.
