A monarch came into my yard late August/early September, followed by another one a week later. One or (both of them) was fertile, laid eggs on the three different kinds of milkweed I have in my yard. At least 9 of the caterpillars made it to the final stage; and they started to "pop" in the last several days, yesterday bringing the count to 7. How beautiful it was to see 7 brand new monarchs, joined by 2 gulf fritillaries, one tiger swallowtail and one eastern black swallowtail, all enjoying the Mexican sunflowers in the yard!

My husband took pictures, but I don't yet have a jpeg to send.
