When I found out, the caterpillars had munched down two plants to the ground and were eating away the flower buds. I raised them indoors so I can just pick the leaves. The poopy hungry cats ate over 100 leaves in the last three days. I am so excited for the butterflies to come out!
All ten butterflies emerged between June 7 to 10. Wish them a safe journey up north.
