I've heard the number 10% thrown around before.

99 percent mortality. Wow.
That explains why all of the eggs and caterpillars I have left outdoors this season are now nowhere to be seen.
My class was SO lucky to have witnessed a Monarch emerging in our garden at school last September.It was like seeing a miracle happen.
