Just when my milkweed has died off and the new sprouts of Fall shoot up a foot tall, I am finding eggs and larvae. So, it is round 2 with rearing these little guys in time to help them fly south while the weather still is acceptable for them. This has been the best year for Monarchs for me in many years. I am renewed in hope for these beautiful creatures. I did notice that I had a few adults hatch out that had wing defects...wrinkled and didn't straighten out. These guys could be timed right around Hurricane Matthew. Would the excessive rain/moisture have something to do with this? The adults before and after have been lively, perfect and beautiful!
