Hi everyone...Can you tell me if this is a Monarch egg I found on a milkweed plant? I am new to this and have never seen one before :oops:

Thanks,
Terri

It does look like a Monarch egg on milkweed. Are you planning to take it off and rear it?

I am not sure since I am new to this.

Monarch Watch has some good directions.

If you have the time, but I warn you it can get addicting watching them grow and releasing them. :cheesy:

Ok..Thank you for the warning....I will let you know what I do.
I am already adicted to raising cats from Monarch watch :cheesy:

A Monarch is born. Congratulations. Now the feeding begins. If you have any questions, just ask. They eat more in the last instars.
