Milkweed or monarch observation details

Comments

Overcast day, cloudy looks like it will rain at any minute all day like this did not see any the monarchs today in the backyard on milkweed plants, but I did buy 7 tuberosa milkweed plants today at London Bridge Garden Center and Green House. They had 8 larvas on them. 1-1st instar, 1-2nd instar, 4-3rd instar, 1-4th instar, and 1-5th instar. Did not see any adult monarch flying around plants or anywhere nearby London Bridge Garden Center or Green House. Did see in backyard by parsley plants and milkweed 1 - 4th instar black swallow tail, 1-3rd instar BST, and 1 - 1st star swallow tail. Did see in front yard on lantana bush, a black swallow tail with lag yellow stripes, and a small tail butterfly with pale blue, marine blue, and a mauve color to it.
