A "Very Hungry" Monarch Caterpillar

Since it was on our way home, and since we can't seem to get enough of butterflies and other insects right now, we stopped at the Vanderhoof trailhead for awhile.  There are still quite a few wildflowers in bloom, so we were able to capture some good butterfly photos.  The ever-changing landscape of the towpath will eventually render this spot a less favorable place to see butterflies very soon, so we want to visit here as often as possible right now.
