Thanks, Sandy. You've released over 1000 monarchs and I've never even seen an egg; I usually don't see a cat until it's half inch. Two years ago was my introduction and I had one Bloodflower planted down by the lake (in the sun) & I had to carry water pretty far to water it. Out of the blue cats began to appear until there were 16 and I've never seen such eating. They grew like crazy, but I never noticed anything like instars. Then as suddenly as they arrived, they were gone! I searched on nearby tree trunks to no avail; a friend pointed out 1 beautiful green pupa attached to the big pot I had the plant in. We carried it to patio so I could watch. So it eclosed one Sunday when I was at church and I never got to say goodbye. I have several questions to ask you; should I do that on the forum or just email back and forth with you? Sylvia

And, the babies a little weird. Did anyone else find them creepy? Sometime about babies faces hiding in plain sight, sort of nightmare material.

If today was April 1, I would like this was an April Fool's joke. I see several things that could be it but I am not even 50% sure of any of them.

Thanks, Nicole! I do a "Ketchup" and a "Pickles" folder for all my third grade students. The former is to complete unfinished work and the latter is for quick enrichment and fun activities. I put your OP pic in this week's folder as one of the fun "picks." Your link will provide more fun! Carol
