I have put away all my milkweed because allergy to this plant is not healing.
But I set up a neighbor with hamper and showed her how to raise the Monarchs in her home because she keeps losing only the chrysalides that form. Seems to be a common problem this year...rats enjoying the chrysalides. They are picking them off of any outside spot. One woman lost 20, another 15 and many others reporting the same thing.
We have breeding pairs here still as well. They are seen together, and apart as the male flies and feeds on nectar and the female hurries to egg bomb someone with milkweed.
