Earlier, a Monarch female laid eggs for 9 days on the tiniest of milkweeds in the backyard garden. I reported about 20 eggs and then had some health issues that prevented me from checking each day. A total of 180+ eggs were collected and shared with friends to raise. Today I counted, and I have at least 104 caterpillars ranging from 2nd to 5th instar out on potted milkweeds and in the garden. They have devoured all of the milkweed so I had to go collect wild milkweed to feed them. Total counting eggs collected and caterpillars feeding is somewhere close to 300.
