We never lost our tremendous amount of milkweed due to mild winter. I have have had catterpillars all winter. They make Chrsylus and then it would turn black. Can you tell us WHY? Some made it but then days were cold and they couldn't fly. So we have Milkweed and are ready....still some caterpillars eating. Is it normal to have them eating all winter?
Thank you....would love an answer about why here all year and truning black before emerging and never emerging once black?????
