We planted tropical milkweed in our garden months ago. We've had several, not a lot, of adult Monarchs in the area in recent weeks. However, we counted 35 Monarch caterpillars munching away on the milkweed. We're hoping for the development to mature butterflies in a few weeks.

It is fun to see these larvae devouring the milkweed.
