The black and white caterpillar

The zebra longwing butterfly is finally laying eggs in the garden. I spotted the first caterpillar that we have had in a really long time.

The zebra longwing caterpillar is on one of its host plants, the maypop passionvine.

It’s interesting that the zebra longwing female butterfly likes to find shady spots to lay her eggs. This plant is not in a shady area and has at least three more eggs that you can see in the photo.
