I counted 14 caterpillars on the 4th. Then, each day there were more and more but smaller. A couple have died for some reason. Wasp probably. Milkweed nearly gone and I'm afraid to move them to other Milkweed plants in my garden. I found one chrysalis being watched by tree frog so its now in Tupperware. Another chrysalis is in my euonymous with a cage around it because i have giant praying mantis everywhere. I bought a cucumber because I read they may eat that if there's no Milkweed left. Actually they are on my asclepias tuberosa. I have 2 other types as well; incarnate and the giant leaf one. I have lots of pictures too. The babies are still here growing fast (09/12/2020) and the 2 chrysalis I found.
