Red Admiral Caterpillar
Several years ago I learned what Three-Seeded Mercury looks like. But only recently I learned that it is a member of the Nettle family and thus a host plant for Red Admiral caterpillars. [7/5/2023 update: I was wrong about that. Three-Seeded Mercury is a member of the Spurge family according to every internet source I can now find. I must have dreamed the source that talked about Nettle. So why was that caterpillar so interested in the Three-Seeded Mercury, I wonder?]
