l saw my first monarch butterfly of the year last week (i rarely see them here) and found several monarch cats today! πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€— i think there's lots more on my common Milkweed but I can't find them 🧐

also 1 black swallowtail cat. Plz excuse the non-native dill.

    Wow I can’t believe you all get these this early. I used to only see them in late summer or early fall. Now I only see 1 or 2 caterpillars a year :/

    Im so excited to be having my first milkweeds/Joe Pye Weed/goldenrod coming in soon.
