The common milkweed, Asclepias syriaca is common in central Minnesota

So is another narrow leafed species, Asclepias verticillata, along roadsides and crop margins.
It has small white flowers:

Haha where in minnesota Up north in Aitkin I found three Cats in one day, all on milkweed. Two were big (both are pupating well one is a chrysalis and one is making a silk pad to hang from) and one just molted a day ago.

UPDATE:

both big ones are chrysalises now, and the littlest one is growing exceptionally well.
