    Gosh with all the bugs and grubs munching on your scarlet milkweed it's a wonder you have any left. :rolleyes: Looks as though your caterpillar is about ready to pupate. :-D

    Mine of a couple weeks ago are now flying around and completely new caterpillars are defoliating my butterfly weed. Nifty. New sprouts are coming up tho.
