I found a 1st instar on a sprig of common milkweed that was stored for 2 days in the frig. The leaves had been washed and put into plastic. Can't believe the tiny thing survived the trauma. It's under observation and we'll see tomorrow. The same thing happened to an egg and I'm watching that too to see if it develops. I don't know the duration of the egg. It's kind of a cryogenic thing but the larva and egg weren't frozen.
