My 7th grade science class was working in our school milkweed garden, weeding etc. We had spotted a very pale monarch that day as we arrived at the garden. We were very surprised to find 57 monarch eggs because the few plants that were sprouted were barely 5 cm tall. I took them home in a petrie dish in order to watch for caterpillars to emerge. Sure enough several have, and I am feeding them milkweed from my own garden.
