Monarch, Captive-Reared

Date: 05/18/2021

Number: 15

I have about 12-15 caterpillars and about 3-5 eggs on three good-sized milkweeds, each plant in its own mesh enclosure.

I lost at least 12-15 caterpillars to paper wasps in the last week before I put the plants into their enclosures. I had a flurry of egg-layers for about a week, then some laggards that I wanted to give a chance to. That came at a price.

I also reported today under 'captive' that twenty caterpillars have gone to chrysalises in the last 2-3 days.
