There are multiple monarchs in my flower garden, nectaring from my yellow wildflowers.
At 5 pm, 2 flew by in the mating coupling. I have several potted tropical milkweed (and several in-ground) so I will look for eggs starting tomorrow.
A discovered 4th instar caterpillar 3 days ago has died, due to the fly that lays eggs in them. Strings are hanging from the dead cat that was hook hanging yesterday.
