I know, crazy right? Monarchs only lay their eggs on milkweed and only eat milkweed while in the caterpillar stage so we got some milkweed plants at a nursery about an hour away and since then are seeing all kinds of activity. Victor has a photo of a monarch laying an egg! So far I haven’t gotten a copy. However I can share pictures of larvae and even a chrysalis!
The chrysalis stage lasts 5 to 9 days, then it becomes clear so you can see the butterfly when it hatches. We are anxiously waiting for that day!
