Today is 12/28/2023 and I am visiting Turks and Caicos island. I saw Monarch caterpillars! I think I saw at least 9 on the milkweed outside of Providenciales airport in Turks and Caicos.

I used to raise Monarch caterpillars in summer in Chicago and in the late summer, the butterflies migrated to Mexico so I never saw caterpillars in December.

I’m wondering since the weather and temperatures stay pretty much the same all year around here in Turks and Caicos, the butterflies keep breeding all year around???
