This year is bad, if not worse than last year. I didn't see any (monarch) cat. last year. Not sure if I saw any monarch then? But this year I can count on what I've seen on my fingers. Thought, I was lucky to have found the cats. They're so diseased, not sure any will make it? One formed its beautiful chrysalis, then begun to have a gaping hole on its thoracid area. Something is eating at my monatch cats. I am so glad those of you that have success with them. On the positive note; I've half a dozen of V. cardui or Painted Lady (butterflies) that begun to ecloce today. It's also the highlight of my day!
