I found 12 Monarch Caterpillars eating on the new Milkweed the 13th of April. On April 20th, I only saw 2 small caterpillars on the Milkweeds. The morning of the 30th I saw 2 Adult Monarchs. They have been here each day since that time. Today there were 4 flying and nectaring. The weather is very hot and dry here now. 90 + each day. When the caterpillar were here the weather was in the high 80's. We think they are new butterflies.
