The monarchs are here flying around and laying eggs. The milkweed is in ample supply and they're finding it. The wasps and lizards are actively gleaning the plants to eat the eggs and baby caterpillars so I am in constant competition with them. I keep some potted milkweed on our screened porch and several times a day check the garden plants for any small caterpillars and bring them in to it. After they are large enough I return them to the garden milkweed. The chrysalises are also appearing around the garden.
