Jack gets an acorn for all those beautiful photos on this dreary day here in FL. Hurray!

Lots of things will eat Monarch eggs and I'm pretty sure ants are one of those things. Ants can have some complicated relationships with plants and caterpillars, though. There's a type of Blue caterpillar that secretes honeydew and the ants take care of the caterpillars! I saw it on a nature show and it was bonkers!

FYI, fall has officially arrived because Starbucks has pumpkin spice. Just letting you guys know. Hilarious!
