I found 11 eggs in all on my Milkweed plants in August. The first group included two, and the second, nine. In the second group, one failed to pupate correctly and perished. In all, 10 (six males, four females) pupated, eclosed, and were released, with the last two today. All appeared healthy and ready to fly away. Releasing has been a bit tricky lately because of severe weather and heavy rain. Today ended up being partly cloudy and windless--perfect weather for releasing the last two. I have one more in chrysalis--it was a caterpillar I found at a different location.
