Tiny Tuesday . . .Monarch Caterpillar

We are back home and the first thing I did was check the caterpillars.  They were tiny when we left so I knew they would be okay for three days.  They are living in a black mesh cage on the deck to protect them from paper wasps that like them as prey.  I think there are about six caterpillars this size.  I took 13 shots before I got the focus right.  I must be out of practice.
