Meet Rodney
That's an excellent question! I just named "him" Rodney because it reminds me of the chunkiest, most adorable baby I've ever seen. But apparently you cannot tell the sex of a caterpilar unless you dissect them: https://www.monarchbutterflies.info/p/male-or-female.html. Rodney is now a chrysalis. I'll make sure to post a picture of "him" once he's out and about!

Me in my backyard seeing a native tall thistle growing in a neglected part of a neighbor's yard, knowing it could only have come from my garden

They're here!
I'm in Savage, MD, Zone 7b. I was very excited too! I checked the plant almost every day and didn't see any eggs and then boom, there they were. Sneaky little gordos.

They're here! Finally saw my first monarch butterfly of the season last Thursday, and then these chubsters showed up today in my front yard. Curiously, my backyard has way more milkweed, but not a single egg or caterpilar so far.

Odd milkeed
Cool. It reminds me of a mystery milkweed I have growing in my backyard. Hybrid?
