I have around 20 caterpillars from Monarch butterfly’s, they are growing very large and I am afraid that I do not have enough leaves for them, they are eating all the plants, what can I do to keep them alive, can I take it to the garden?

I'm sorry, Carmen, We cannot take them at this time. They will only eat milkweed, so you best bet is to search for some in the wild. Most of the milkweed for sale in stores has been treated with chemicals and won't be any good. You may want to join our "Gardening in Virginia -- Question & Answer" Group on Facebook -- many folks in that group can point you in the direction of milkweed. Good luck!
