Collected my first eggs on May 30th and collected my last caterpillars on June 29th. In my first batch, I raised and released 48 monarchs that were born June 28th through July 18th. I took a short break for a family vacation and I started collecting eggs and caterpillars again on July 24th. I have even found 2 chrysalis in my mom's common milkweed garden. My current totals are 1 egg, 103 caterpillars and 16 chrysalis. I know where there are more eggs and cats outside yet to be collected. I didn't see too many monarchs in the beginning of the season. I have seen a lot of monarchs and eastern tiger swallowtails these last few weeks in my flower gardens. Hoping for a great fall migration for all this year!
