Here's a closeup of a queen. I would estimate that there are close to 300 of them in the backyard right now. We have almost an acre and I have planted clumps of mist flower (eu) all over. I have never seen one of their cats that I know of. I see them mating but that's it. I only have one small clump of milkweed and I know it hasn't been a host. We live on a river and it's kind of wild on the other side so maybe they're going over there to lay their eggs.
