What is this! A visit from my Jack before I visit you!? I was just checking up on a little milkweed with eggs that got trampled, I put it in a mason jar of water and set in the milkweed patch, there's a wee Monarch caterpillar on it! Bliss! xomo <3

Yay, it would be nice if you get to see where they pupate and watch the imagos emerge. Its the summer brood that does the return trip to Mexico. Loved your wiggly instar! Mick

Giggles ;) thank you! I saw lots of egg laying, if I get to see one I'll be elated! All I can do is tend my milkweeds, keep them watered and hope! xomo

Thank you Roberta! Been encouraging my milkweeds for a few years hoping to attract the endangered Monarchs, have had hardly any until this year, and laying females to boot! (or one that keeps coming back;) xomo
