I counted 13 monarch larvae on our milkweeds the other day. Now I only see
one. Where the heck do they go? They seem to disappear when they're fully
grown, but I don't see any chrysalises anywhere. Thnx

They sort of go up and down the stem..hide on other plants...move back to
feed. It is odd. You know your really cool when you have monarchs
caterpillars, the milkweed tussock moth, and the milkweed cerambycid beetle
all at the same time. Now there's a lofty perch!
