I have had people complain to me that there is something eating there milkweed. I have to explain to them that the milkweed is the host for the monarch and you should expect the monarch caterpillars to eat milkweed! That's the whole purpose of having the milkweed.. to provide sustenance for the monarchs. Good job.
