Monarch "Birth" Photos

Postby Pixie » Thu Aug 20, 2009 3:18 pm

Finally got around to getting photos on my computer! The enclosings & releases have kept me busy the past 3 days. All have enclosed but 1. I don't know how those of you who raise hundreds do it! :wink:

That would be a first. A Monarch going back into the pupa. :cheesy:

We don't get to clean our house much, because we are cleaning and feeding caterpillars. But, we do get to have fun watching our butterflies grow.

Amazing, I would love to be able to watch them. The few I've had so far, I keep missing. It is nice to walk into the room to discover a new butterfly though! Hopefully will have two more tonight when I get home :cheesy:

Most of them emerge in the morning around 8 to 9 AM. You'd have to take a small container to work and sit it on your desk--if possible.
