This happened at the end of July! Milkweed started growing in my back flower garden several years ago. Since I knew Monarchs are in trouble I let it go and slowly it has spread to about 10 plants. This year as I was weeding I noticed a larva-I was so excited. As I continued to work I noticed a butterfly looking like she was laying eggs and sure enough I found one. I saw the larva after it hatched as well, so tiny. Out of the four larvas I saw I'm pretty sure only one made it to the stage of turning into a chrysalis but I could not find it.
Joyful day-a first
In my own garden
Monarch life cycle begins
Ooh, could it be?
Why yes, right there
hungrily chewing holes.
