The only Nine-banded Armadillo photo I seem to have is one I once trapped to relocate. Haven't seen this other one yet...must be coming between 2 a.m. to 5 a.m., when I'm not around. They're 2.5 ft. max nose to tail in the U.S. and supposed to weigh around 12 lbs., but of course I never weighed one. This one is digging way too much, killing plants, and I have a trap out. Peculiar creatures, said to be progressively expanding their range a LOT since their natural predators are around much less as the years go by.
Since I started with pics of the Monarch caterpillar, I took pics of other butterfly caterpillars today that I have.
Painted Lady:
Tiger...either E. Tiger Swallowtail or Two-tailed Tiger Swallowtail, not sure which yet:
Pipevine Swallowtail:
There are more kinds of "baby butterflies" (caterpillars) outside also, if I can find them!
