Monarch Caterpillar Pooping

The monarch butterfly has an amazing life cycle. Part of the life cycle is spent as a monarch caterpillar. The monarch caterpillar spends most of its live eating milkweed and pooping. The poop of a caterpillar is called frass. This video has a short clip of the monarch caterpillar eating milkweed and pooping. Also, enjoy a clip of the monarch butterfly enjoying nectar from a liatris plant.

My daughter was working in Kansas and bought tickets for us to go to a game. I loved the atmosphere and love the Rock Chalk Jayhawk chants!
