The Monarch (Wanderer) butterflies seem to thrive on the Milkweed bush in the back garden right here at home. The bush is about six years old now -- kept well pruned -- and we counted upwards of 25 caterpillars before they started to chrysalis. Around 80% of the chrysalises seem to have hatched, and so far we haven't found any of the new-hatched Wanderers dead in the vicinity, so they really do seem to thrive here!
