This picture is not mine, it was on my Newsfeed (source).
Not so long ago I would have looked at it, and seen a caterpillar on a flower.
A year ago I would have seen a Monarch-to-be.
Later that it was feeding on tropical Milkweed. *
And now the first thing is I think is: "Wow, someone has got a problem with Aphids!" ;)
Wonder what I will see in the future..
* Yes, I would have thought Danaus plexippus on Asclepias currassavica.
But I get told by everyone but biologically interested people (who are the best, anyway;) ) that scientific names are annoying and only used to show off.
Well, I think common names are a waste of time, I have to learn those in german and english and dutch and googling them takes 10 times as long as the "latin" ones.
