Our monarchs are dissapearing in NZ as well so it was great to see several in the garden this year. At school we used to plant "milkweed' plants and if they were comepletely eaten & there were still caterpillars on it they would eat raw pumpkin. Their life cycle was news to me but it's sad they only live 6 weeks.
