I thought it would be fun to have a new invertebrate in the lab, so I plan to order Monarch larvae in the next few weeks. To feed the larvae, a supply of milkweed plants is needed. I ordered those first and found a Monarch caterpillar eating away at one of the plants.What a surprise! He traveled in the mail from Pennsylvania to Georgia.

I’ve planted some of the milkweed plants in pots and others in my garden. Hopefully, they’ll attract some Georgia Monarchs too.
