Although I have yet to see a monarch butterfly this year in my yard I did find this one and only monarch caterpillar in the center of a milkweed plant in my yard in 6/4/23. Today he has started to wander looking for a high spot to hang in “J” position . My milkweed plants are several feet high and have buds ready to start blooming! This is a much later start to the Monarch rearing season than the last few years but the weather has been crazy! I have had some Black and Tiger swallowtails caterpillars already but again slow start yo their season as well… bring on the butterflies please!
