16 chrysalis visible, i'm not snooping through the bushes.
4 mature caterpillars looking for a good place to transform themselves.
8 seniors feeding
7 juniors feeding
1 "Peewee" Who hatched in captivity surviving on leaves that had been fed to the bigger guys.

The photo is the seven juniors and peewee in confinement.
Monarchs compete for food, and I keep peewee happy.
