Hello and welcome to the contest:

The topic of this week is… “What do you do with the insects in your garden?"

Butterfly caterpillars.

In my garden, butterflies have the habit of coming and laying their eggs on this specific plant. They are very attracted to this plant with its yellow flowers. The plant is wild, I don’t plant it in my garden, it arrives on its own and as soon as it arrives it leaves, but there’s always some of these plants that manage to hatch and then the little caterpillars arrive to it.

I like the colors of the caterpillars. I don’t think they are toxic but of course I don't touch these caterpillars. What I like are their colors… But what I don't like is that in one night they leave my beautiful yellow flowering plant with no leaves, no flowers and no buds.

All you can see is the devastation they leave in their wake. I don’t destroy them. I already know that this plant will be born again anywhere in my garden or even in the same place where it has died. Likewise the yellow butterflies will come back and take over the plant again.

I love ladybugs, they are my favorite insects in the garden. But it's been a while since I've seen one of them visit me to take a picture. What is your favorite insect in the garden? Could you please tell me what you do with them?

Announcement of the winner:

This week there were 7 entries to the contest and I liked all of them. Most of them comply with the rules, there are still some users who don't read the rules but they will get the hang of it, eventually. What I do know is that I got the support of @steemcurator01, plus, the votes from most of the contestants and the friend @steemflower who came by and left me her support. To all of you I thank you most sincerely for supporting the contest so this week I will be giving away three prizes. I will nominate two contestants to win 2 Steem each and another contestant who wins 1 Steem for being very supportive in the #CCC community.

So in this week, thanks to the contributors because with their votes to the contest I will be awarding 5 Steem in total, as the contest receives more support I will be able to give more prizes!

Thank you very much everyone!
