I had a couple of those here a couple years ago Alchase.   I sure riled up the experts that said they shouldn’t be here.  They finally decided either I or a neighbor brought the caterpillars in on a crop from Lowe’s.   I have a huge blow up of it in our guest bathroom.

Here are a couple from the last year in the Butter Fly House in Branson Missouri.

They are incredible critters to photograph. Tons of detail that a good camera can pick up.

We hatched out I'm guessing at least a dozen adult monarch from the Migration north.   We were fortunate enough to witness a couple of them mating, and then deposit eggs on our milkweed for a final generation.    We  found at least 40 caterpillars scattered amongst our milkweed.   Unfortunately my work schedule and high temps interfered with me getting any images of the adults.  I assume many hatched and are headed south.    What a successful year

That's awesome.

The Frit Migration came in about 2 weeks ago.  We are fortunate to have about 100 of them at our place.
