This is the poorest year I have had for Monarchs. The butterflies are plentiful in my garden & some have laid eggs, but these rapidly disappear, & there are no caterpillars to be seen. I have heaps of swan plant, some of it quite heavily infested with yellow aphids. There are also heaps of ladybirds & their larvae on them, doing a good job on the aphids but I really suspect they are doing a good job on the Monarch eggs too. Probably can’t distinguish between aphids & eggs.
Am I right in thinking that they might be the culprits? There are very few wasps around.
