Right now I'm not tiny but I'm also not very large. I was tiny when I hatched from an egg inside the edge of a leaf. After that I started eating the leaf and other leaves like it. I grew, things got tight, and then my outer covering split open. I stepped out in a new skin and started eating more leaves and some flowers. The skin splitting keeps happening but I can't stop eating. As I mentioned I'm not too large, so I need to continue eating.
Today the wind blew me onto this unappetizing milkweed plant. A noisy black thing hovered in the space above me for awhile then went away.
I hopped away in search of good leaves and flowers to eat.

Nice to see young insects eating green. It will be a couple of months before that happens here in southern Ontario.
