The Stop & Shop grocery store had a rack of perennials for sale out front of the store, which included a handful of asclepias tuberosa - butterfly weed. I was considering buying a plant and then noticed a hatched caterpillar on the plant. I ended up finding two! Bought two milkweeds and took the caterpillars home with me to raise! The mother must have laid eggs on the plants at the nursery somewhere and then the eggs took a journey to the grocery store and hatched somewhere along the way! So excited i found and saved them!
