I saw a Monarch from the deck and went to look at it. When I got close I noticed that it was a female laying eggs. She laid approx 10-12 and I was able to find four. I brought them inside and put them in a clear container with milkweed. I've looked for more but it rained the night the eggs were laid so it's possible they fell off or birds ate them. Last night (9/3/14) one caterpillar climbed to the top and this morning it was in the 'J' shape. Just a few minutes ago a second caterpillar climbed to the top to start the transformation.
