My husband found a caterpillar by the porch and thought it was dead. He put it aside for me to check out. It was moving across the porch, so I picked it up and put it on the milkweed. That is when all those caterpillars jumped out at me. What a wonderful surprise. They are going through the milkweed so fast I was afraid there would not be enough groceries for them. I picked up another variety of milkweed at the nursery and they are slowly moving onto those plants. Hoping to be able to find where they form their chrysalis so we can watch them mature, hatch and take to the air.
