Looking at milkweed

 While looking through the milkweed to find a monarch caterpillars I came across this spider.  Neighbor said its a corn spider??   It doesn't matter what kind it is..........  it makes me think twice now before I take a walk through milkweed or any other weed.        



And no we haven't found a monarch caterpillars yet.......  I was really wanting to find one for Joseph to watch turn into a butterfly and of course for myself.  We've seen the monarchs around here but haven't found where they laid their eggs.
