I have only seen one Monarch this year she was busy. I saw 4 cats on the milkweed yesterday. Didn't see any this morning.
Monarch Cats
Yay for you!! I had 3 Monarchs in my yard today! That means they are on their way to me! :) I'm desperately trying to keep the milkweed alive for them.
These cats are so beautiful! I've never had the pleasure of seeing one in my own yard. Congratulations!
Are they destructive to plants? Just nibblers? Prefer Burger King? :)
So far only eating milkweed, I hadn't thought about "Burger King". I'll hang out some menus, maybe they would stay around if they have something more exciting to eat. Any ideas???.
I didn't see them when they were small, and I only saw them once yesterday. They may have moved on and will soon be flying around.
I saw a monarch cat in person a few years ago at a FL nursery. It was on a brugmansia that had alot of leaf destruction. Since then I've been wondering just how destructive are they? Did he do all that damage? I don't think I've ever heard a monarch cat destroyed my plant horror story.
A friend has one that is 50 lbs, 2 ft long and 4 years old. BK French fries and a strawberry shake seems to be it's food of choice. lol!
Major chomping on the Milkweed but haven't seen them on anything else. I'll go look.

"Oh look at that pretty flower over there if only I could crawl over there. Oh! I could never crawl that far. Look at that beautiful butterfly! Wouldn't it be Wonderful if I could go to sleep and wake up able to FLY..... Dream on little cat... ;-))
