6 of my 30 2nd Gen monarchs emerged.
All seemed healthy and ready to go.
I originally had around 45 eggs and caterpillars, but only 30 made it to the chrysalis stage for various reasons.
1 emerged deformed, not sure if it was a disease or overcrowding, but I euthanized that one.
Another, although seemingly no imperfections seems to be unable to fly, but is living in my garden.
Eggs are everywhere. I have a daily visit from one or two monarchs depositing eggs and enjoying the garden.
I am also seeing swallowtails, although not as often.
Some painted ladies too.
