The Setup

The reason for starting this was to see if infact monarch caterpillers ate/preferred pumkin in comparison to Swan plant/Milkweed. I set up an aquarium with paper towels on the bottom & added 32 Monarch Caterpillers and One egg from my outside swan plant. The cover is of glad wrap with some perferated holes made by a fork.
The main reason behind this was because the swan plant had become infested with yellow aphids . The swan plant has since been cleaned with water so that it has a chance to recouperate.
