Received batch of 2nd to 3rd instar Monarch caterpillars today to raise from friend who was called out of town suddenly to care for sick relative. I haven't tried to count them yet. This group will continue to be raised in one (or more, depending on numbers) enclosure(s) until release.
Note: I have two "wild" cats on my outside tropical milkweed patch that were reported under larva. These cats are outside from eggs laid by wild females. The wild cats have a much lower success rate of emerging to migrate. I do not bring in these cats unless I find them when they are 1st or 2nd instars because of the risk of disease.
