24 monarch caterpillars (most 1-1.25 inches in length) on 5 tropical milkweed plants and an adjacent snowberry bush (symphoricarpus "candy sensation"). 9 caterpillars are on the milkweed and 15 on snowberry bush (9 in the lower 6 inch of bush with no nearby leaves, and 6 near end of branches near berries and on leaves) - they appear to be feeding on snowberry bush, but I'll continue to monitor.
