Very sparse sightings this season. I should be seeing numbers too big to keep track of WE have found two caterpillars, collected and released one butterfly the other didn't survive. This year is down about 95% of sightings of all stages of growth. WE have seen just a few eggs. We have a 80 acre farm and have many milkweed areas and a couple species. Last year we saw a lot of damaged caterpillars and diseased plants. WE had about a 50% hatch rate of those we captured. In the past it's been 100%
We are able to provide a safe environment but are surrounded by larger farms.
