I also saw other Showy milkweeds with signature chew marks made by 1st instars but don't know how old those are; didn't see any caterpillars but it's clear that monarchs are still active along the U.S. 81 flyway. I think it's time that Oklahoma DOT needs to rethink the I-35 strategy, milkweeds of which OSU says is underutilized. Using A. viridis doesn't help--it's obvious spring monarchs are aiming for Showy down here and Common further north. South of the marked spot here is a patch of A. viridis and I didn't see any sign of monarch activity there.
