2 female Monarchs eclosed this morning, 3 females eclosed yesterday Morning. One still remains in chrysalis. Rescued them from Carpenter ants that I believe were hunting them as many, many instars disappeared once the ants were discovered all over my swamp milkweed. Coincidence? I think not. I've never seen Carpenter ants on my milkweed before.
