{Ixora 2015}

On July 3, I made these photos from our blooming Ixora...
An ant is crawling on top of its sweet flowers, snacking on some nectar I guess.
And something even bigger - a caterpillar with long hair!
As long as they don't eat the entire plant, that is fine!

    Love flower, I too get lots of those caterpillars in vegetable garden but they eat a lot and we're left with vegetables full of holes!

    Oh wow, that caterpillar has got seriously long hair! Your ixora is beautiful. I love the sweet orange colors :-) The flower looks a bit like hydrangea to me but maybe clearly different for those who know plants well, like you!
