    That’s amazing! I just found my first one tonight, and then saw a couple more! I’m stoked and don’t have anyone to properly share my excitement with!

    Wow that’s a lot! We’ve had monarchs for weeks but haven’t seen a cat since early summer.

    One thing I learned this year is that caterpillars poop – a lot!

    I’ve only found one, despite an abundance of milkweed. It was nowhere to be seen within a few hours when I checked again. I think the birds just keep getting them 😭 Circle of life, I guess, but it feels so unfair.
