Was nervous re no monarchs in my gardens until 1 in mid July. The numbers didn�t increase at all until 1st week August. Eggs were hard to find And in small numbers We found about 5 cats of all sizes and finally from Aug 19-23 I had 7 chrysalides. Our winter was too mild for this area resulting in high numbers of predictor insects who ate the eggs and first and second Instar cats, heartbreaking. Fast forward to now, 08/25/2020, I have gotten to the eggs before the predators, have raised and released 52 monarch butterflies without losing one. I hope, believe I�m now raising the migration generation.
