Thanks Malanie for sharing the educational article. I found so many Monarch cats. on my MWs, also saw so many spiders and wasps. I was tempted to leave some (cats.) outdoor....but after I read that... I was reminded that my caterpillars may not survive. So I hauled all of them inside. lol

I know Sheila and other Leps' lovers have developed methods to keep harvested Milkweeds fresh indoor to raise cats. Mine keeps wilting. I need some help to keep these cut leaves fresh longer for the cats. please. Any help will be appreciated.

I went to local nursery in search of more MWs. thinking if I find some young Milkweeds I can keep them in large cage in which I use to hold the cats. But as you know, most MWs are way too tall. While picking up new plants, I found couple more Monarch cats. at the nursery. An added bonus. :-)
