Now’s the time of year you’ll find Monarch butterfly eggs on your milkweed.  Just turn over the leaves, look on the underside and you’ll see them. Once you find the eggs/caterpillars you will want to bring them in soon to their indoor caterpillar home. If you leave them out they may start disappearing due to natural predators.

The process of watching a caterpillar become a butterfly is truly awesome and it really is easy to do! There are many different varieties of milkweed that the Monarch caterpillars eat which adds to the ease of raising monarch butterflies. Milkweed also serves as a nectar source for Monarchs and many other butterfly species.
