Der Wolfsmilch war im Sommer wirklich gut und ich dachte, wir haben es verpasst, Monarch -Raupen zu haben, aber heute nachgesehen, und beide Pflanzen hatten einige. Zu cool!

That’s so great. We’re still waiting to have any.
I live in Santa Cruz and we have a ton of them in our yard right now!
What zone? I haven’t seen anything. Seen some adults, that’s about it.
You have milkweed aphids, too!
All I got was aphids when I planted mine 🫠
Get down on it little guy, can’t wait for the transformation!
Awesome! One of very few times, when we are delighted the insects are eating our plants! Exciting!
Forgot to say we’re in Massachusetts
It’s so cute!
The antennae 🥹
This is so cool. They’re really chomping down too!
When did you plant seeds?
Soon as I planted a tiny little milkweed I had tons of Monarchs and have many caterpillars on mine. Not much to eat though.
My parents have some monarch caterpillars that have already built their cocoons… My milkweed didn’t even get aphids this year… But they did go to seed so I have plenty of seeds for next year!
There beautiful
They’re such cool looking caterpillars to me! Very Alice in Wonderland. 🍄
Dang he is hongry
I would love to plant milkweed
Congrats!
We have cats but are struggling with wasps right now.
Wait, milkweed doesnt flower the first year.
Me too!!
calparks.org needs reporting of monarchs to track migration patterns. you might want to submit your video and info!
Those Antennae!!! Wow! They look like they could pick up stations on the moon! Very cool video of a beautiful baby 😍
I planted some for the first time this year myself! Any tips? Or just kind of plant it and eventually it worked out?
They devoured my plants and I sadly had no more food to give! Dead plant and dead caterpillars! Trauma experience. I learned “don’t try to be like Mother Earth”.
BEHOLD!
Happy eating antennae caterpillar 🐛 🦋
Thank you 🥹💕
Aw man, I’m jealous! I haven’t planted but I’m always checking my nearby milkweed patches and can never seem to find these guys. I did just see my first adult butterfly of the season today though!
One of the 1st things I remember doing as a kid qas raising and releasing monarchs. I’m still doing it all these years later. I’ve had a lot of trouble with aphids the last couple of years. Some of the milkweed just turn black and die. I wish there was an easy way to keep them off the plants.
Edit to add that we’re in WI.
What are those bugs that he is eating?
