This video gives me anxiety. I get anxious every time I see a Monarch pupate for fear that something will happen. I am so overjoyed when everything goes well.

Mona - these videos are amazing. This summer I photographed the pupation and enclosing of my reared monarchs. My grand-daughter was able to observe this & told her teacher all about her observations. Helena is in the second grade & I had previously given a presentation to her kindergarten class 2 years ago. Her second grade teacher was so amazed at what Helena knew about the monarchs that she has invited me to give a presentation to her class. I am eagerly looking forward to doing this again. I will have many new photos to add to my previous photo-board.............
