That's truly a problem with these Monarch caterpillars! We don't usually get wave after wave of them here. I didn't raise that many this spring, so keeping up with the amount of milkweed foliage they used up wasn't a big problem. I do remember years I had enough in fall that I had to go look for roadside milkweed to keep them fed, however. Here's one Monarch I released recently.

I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
Integrity can never be taken. It can only be given, and I wasn't going to give it up to these people. Gary Mowad
