I recently got into monarch / milk week gardening with my toddler ! I found a 3 gal native milk weed at a local nursery and it had monarch caterpillars. Those have since already been released as butterfly’s. Shortly after we did a little raised garden set up. It sat for weeks and weeks with no movement maybe a month in a half or so. Randomly one morning I checked the garden and saw 20+ baby caterpillars! So exciting. The caterpillars really seem to enjoy eating the flowers. A saw one them seemed to also have less pigment then the others.
