Love those Tersas; they scare the crap out of me when I'm weeding the pentas and see those giant eyespots on the caterpillars! As a moth I think they look like stealth bombers. Very sleek.

Here's a Zebra Longwing that was flitting around the porterweed this afternoon.

And a Monarch caterpillar that was off the milkweed and on the nearby bromeliads. He might be done eating and in his wandering phase but I put him back where there were some leaves on the milkweed just in case.
