I found Monarch caterpillars on my newly emerging milkweed plants in rural Washington County. They were about one inch long. There were about a dozen. Not sure there's enough milkweed there but I did notice several inch sized plants that have emerged. Since I wanted to bring some plants and caterpillars here to my fulltime home in St. Louis, we went to our field and dug up some milkweed plants and saw many more caterpillars there. THEN, when I got home to transplant the plants I discovered caterpillars on the plants I had transplanted a couple weeks ago. Very exciting find!!
