Because we have had such a mild winter thus far, milkweeds have begun leafing out and I found around 18 mid sized caterpillars wandering around the milkweed plants. I have collected them and now have 16 chrysallis which should start hatching in around 7 more days. I have never had monarchs around this early! There aren't alot of flowers out, but a few so hopefully these will be able to find some food.
