Color choices
Caterpillar body segments can be colored first with bands of yellow, green, and black. Fill the rounded head, eyes, antennae, and small legs with coordinating shades. Combine fresh greens across the milkweed leaf and its veins, using a darker tone near the edges for contrast. Finish the flower petals and buds with pink or purple accents.
Segment Color Sequence
Choose a repeating set of shades for the caterpillar’s body bands, then echo those shades in the flower petals and buds.
