With high winds, cold temps and heavy rain, I decided to bring one of the smaller caterpillars inside. The eggs on the milkweed that I brought in kept hatching and hatching. To date, 5 have been released (3 male, 2 female), 8 still waiting inside their chrysalis and another 4 crawling. Those left on the outdoor plants have all disappeared. All seem to prefer common milkweed to the swamp variety.
