Since 5/16 when I brought in my first eggs of the season to raise, I have been finding eggs and caterpillars all over my common milkweed. I can't go in the yard to get more milkweed for my caterpillars without finding more. This is a big change from the past two years. Last year I raised 84 monarchs throughout the summer. Right now I have 24 caterpillars on walkabouts, one chrysalis, and probably another 20 caterpillars. This year's second generation has come to us about two weeks earlier than they did last year and in much greater numbers.
