I was looking at my "butterfly" garden and lo and behold, more of these caterpillars than I could see. I counted around 15 or so, but kept finding the smaller cats that are maybe 1cm and hard to spot. They have almost eaten all my butterfly weed though! I need to go buy more asap...any other advice?? I always thought the lizards were eating the monarch eggs so this is a huge surprise. My daughter has a butterfly habitat (net) that can raise 10 cats so I was thinking about putting the bigger ones in there so we can observe. |
