#WingedWednesday #CommonBuckeye #Bloomscrolling #FediversalPictures

A few years back, the #Common Buckeye had a huge baby boom over here. Not so much last year even though I have an ample supply of their host plant, Lanceleaf Plantain. They do host on other plants besides that, though. Here's one feasting on the flowers of a Monarch's favorite host plant, the #Honeyvine. YES Honeyvine IS a milkweed!

This full-grown caterpillar is about to pupate. It is feeding on honeyvine milkweed (Cynanchum laeve) and doing a U-turn.
