Saw 1 or 2 female Monarchs on Oct. 16th, flying around my milkweed laying eggs. When the cold front was coming through on Monday (Oct. 26th) I went out and gathered all the cats I could find and place them in my butterfly cage in my house. They have been munching down everything I can put in there. See photo. Right now, I have about 8 from large to small. Hope to release them when they have hatched and the weather is warm. This has become a common event in the past 6 years. Monarchs laying eggs in mid to late October before heading on to Mexico.
