Found them all on the 6x 1 gallon showy swamp milkweeds (Asclepias incarnata) that I planted in my garden in June. I was very surprised to see so many since the temps have been staying in the low 70s this whole week & the wild growing common milkweed I harvest from an empty field to feed my caterpillars haven't had a single egg since Monday. Thought that might be because they are now slowly being smothered and yanked to the ground by morning glories and porcelain berry vines & maybe the butterflies can't see them anymore? IDK...
