On butterfly milkweed stalks that I put into my net cage two weeks ago, I discovered two growing Monarch caterpillars. They obviously came from eggs I did not spot on the underside of leaves.

Those stalks and leaves were food for 3 previously reported Monarch caterpillars, which since have entered chrysalis stage. All three are close to becoming butterflies.

(I planted two butterfly milkweed plants in my residential flower bed in early summer.)
