Eggs hatching like crazy

Postby GBMonarch » Fri May 18, 2012 11:25 pm

Didn't see any Monarchs today, but my milkweed is loaded with eggs. There are 25 little cats in containers in my house and tons more eggs on the plants in the garden. The milkweed is still pretty small so there are leaves with 3 eggs on them! I never saw that before. It just shows how hard it is for the poor Monarchs to find milkweed.

This is very early for Wisconsin. I will take more in as I can. I find about 25 in individual containers is about my limit if I'm going to make it to work on time in the morning. I don't put several together in a container when they are small, it seems to help keep them healthier.

If there are any folks who live near Green Bay, send me a message if you want some eggs.
