It was a female laying eggs on milkweed barely eight inches tall. Only one egg hatched here; larva found several weeks later, pupated two days ago. Over the past two weeks I have collected 16 more caterpillars in Concord, NC. Some of these are now chrysalids, others still small, third and fourth instar. The adults should be heading North by middle of June. But from your reports, they are way behind the other ones already in Canada.
