I've seen several Monarchs in my yard for the last couple of weeks. The Lantana is still blooming and they seem to like that. I also have some Tropical Milkweed and they have been laying eggs. I brought in approx. 25 caterpillars to the "butterfly castle". I usually have good luck raising them, then releasing then. Unfortunately, one of my neighbors must have sprayed pesticides that came into my yard because all but 2 of the caterpillars have died right after they started making chrysalis. I have 2 chrysalis now, but I'm not confident that butterflies will emerge.
