Monarch Larva (FIRST sighted)

Date: 01/25/2008

Number: 1

Found three(different stage)larvae eating on my tropical milk-weed. One was 5th instar, other two 3-4th instar. Temp was dipping near 30 degrees so I brought them inside on the milkweed they were eating. Put them in clean aquarium with milkweed in water and left them to munch. One pupated on a long branch, the other two continued to eat. Weather warmed and I returned the crysalis and the two larvae outside back in the patch. We left town for several days and there's no sign of cats or crysalis.
