the monarch butterfly subreddit is amazing, every day someone posts the deadest caterpillar I’ve ever seen and goes “is he ok???”

The thing is that the caterpillars naturally have a very low survival rate and human intervention rarely improves the outcomes. As someone who cares deeply about this subject I think the best answer is to always just grow more milkweed and let nature do its thing, if they die they die
