I am currently raising 11 mature caterpillars with one already hanging. I also have presently 2 chrysalis that have been hanging for about a week. I have been raising monarchs for about 2 decades and last summer was the first time I did not find ANY caterpillars so I am very happy to have found so many more this year. In June, I raised 4, but had seen 23 large caterpillars in my prairie ditch but I'm afraid that the garter snakes may have eaten many of them when they disappeared in 2 days with no sightings of hanging Js nor chrysalis. So I took the remaining 6 in to raise myself on my porch.
