Monarch Caterpillar. Females lay their fertilized eggs on the undersides of milkweed leaves. They identify the milkweed by scraping the leaf surface with their front legs and “smelling” the plant juices with their antennae, or feelers. A single female may lay as many as 400 eggs. Can you hear him chomping???
