I have had Monarch eggs, Larva & butterflies since begining of March. I have had them pretty much year round. Of course, slowing down between Dec. & Jan.. Right now I have over 50 caterpillars in my garden. I also have a large milkweed garden, (at least a 100 Plants). I keep a close eye on them & try to let them do as they should. I did experience a wasp trying to lay eggs in one of my smaller caterpillars today. I saw it too late & the wasp killed the caterpillar. I also had a butterfly emerge today & her wings never fully unrolled, so she really couldn't fly. I do have great pictures of all stages.
