Rearing Update

[paulakcmo]

I started with 11 cats and 1 died about 12 days ago (my last post). Today I observed 2 male butterflies morphing around 11AM and Noon in the emergent cage I made out of netting and an embroidery hoop. This is a great project I've gotten myself into! Waiting for 2 more chrysalis to break open then the remaining 6 will all come at once, I think. Have dug up milkweed and growing under gro-light, it's going to be really crowded by Spring!!:D
