Hello!! I discovered this fairly big patch last year!! I collected eggs from it and took milkweed from it to feed the caterpillars. It is located next to a business called fastenal. They mowed it down once last year and once this year. After the milkweed had grown back I went to look for more eggs. While I was looking around in the patch, a man from the business came out to ask me what I was looking for and I told him that I was looking for Monarch eggs!! I had a couple of leaves with eggs on them and the man asked to see it!! I asked him if he had kid's ( with intentions of telling him to share the magic of Monarch's and Milkweed with his kid's) but he told me he only had a dog!! I went back a week later to discover that they mowed around the large patch!! I think they avoided mowing the patch because of what I had told the man!! Or at least that is my hope!!!
