Well I came home to find a dozen Queen caterpillars on milkweed that I received in trade about two weeks ago. I transplanted it into a large pot last weekend and there wasn't a single egg or caterpillar on it!!! Now there are a bunch of last instar cats on it and they have eaten it to the bare stem! I swear there must have been a line of caterpillars marching through my back yard while I was at work today!

I moved them all to another milkweed I had growing under the tangerine tree. That should hold them for a couple more days. If they don't pupate soon I'll move them to another plant I have in the back yard.
