We have a 'weed garden', a semi-natural area of native plants, where I keep three varieties of milkweed for these guys.

Awesome. I always look forward to seeing these guys every spring. Last year I think a bird got to them before they could cacoon.

Oh cool. We only have two types. It's weird how some years they seem to prefer one, and then the next year they prefer the other.

I used to raise those when I was a kid.
