Today I was conversing with an old friend who lives in Rupert ID. along the Snake River below Minedoca Dam. Our conversation got around to Monarch butterflies and milkweed. She recalled how there used to be thousands of Monarchs there every year, but now they are all gone due to the practice of spraying and killing off all of the milkweed growing along the vast network of irrigation canals in the area.

All the caterpillars I had (about 100) all died when they went to hang. Only one or two got to the chrysalis stag! No weed poison, no insecticide was around the plants! What could have happened? HELP

Evidently, certain tropical strains of milkweed can harbor a parasite that can be harmful to the caterpillars.
