I had seen female monarch laying eggs on honeyvine in the grassy paths of my garden. I had to mow the paths, so I picked all of the honeyvine in the paths (84 plants) so I would not damage eggs or caterpillars. It turned out that there were 50 eggs or newly hatched caterpillars on the plants (originally I thought only 45, but I reexamined the plants after a couple of days). Each egg or caterpillar was put into a deli clean 16 oz deli container with a sample of common milkweed on a moistened piece of paper towel.
