This is an update of yesterday's post:
We worked at the San Antonio River Walk milkweed garden on Friday (2/11/12) and Saturday (2/12/12) and caught 10 adults, found 17 live pupae and counted 18 eggs, and 5 caterpillars on 73 milkweed plants. The adults were tested for Oe, and we will report the results here later after observation of samples in the lab. The 17 pupae have been brought in to eclose. I will test them for Oe and release them back at the site. There were 15 dead pupae that were taken to the lab for dissection and testing.
