I just had to share this... the Monarchs found my Butterflyweed.

I am kind of tempted to bring it in the house to raise, but the last time we brought one in, the pupa stage lasted way too long. It emerged 9 October that year, and with our weather, it was unlikely to get far. We brought it in early September. I wonder if inside conditions effected it. I know it does with overwintering pupa, such as Swallowtails and even the Woolly Bears (Isabella Tiger Moth).
