A caution about milkweed. I've hosted larvae for a couple of years and this keeps happening. Too many little ones at once that eat up the plant before any of them are mature enough to chrysalize. So, the message is, if you're planting milkweed and don't want to watch them starve, plant at least a couple of dozen plants and try to locate a foster home if needed.
