rainy week and monarch release

[denise brown]

Is it better to wait out a 5 day rain forecast for New England or release my butterfly that emerged yesterday? She would have one sunny day tomorrow and then will be headed into 4 days of steady rain on the east coast. Should I let her take her chances? This morning she ate a grape cut in half with great enthusiasm.

If the rain isn't too heavy, she will be fine. I've seen Monarchs migrating in light rain.
