ON SEPTEMBER 5TH, I FOUND A LARGE MONARCH CATERPILLAR IN MY MILKWEED PATCH AND WITH 45 DEGREE TEMPS AT NIGHT AND POOR QUALITY MILKWEED IN THE PATCH I BROUGHT THE CAT IN THE HOUSE AND PUT IT IN MY MONARCH CAGE ALONG WITH SOME FRESH HEALTHY MILKWEED LEAVES I FOUND FROM ANOTHER LOCATION. IT FED FOR 24 HOURS THEN CRAWLED TO THE TOP OF THE CAGE AND FORMED A CHRYSALIS. AS SOON AS IT HATCHES AND IT'S WARM ENOUGH OUTSIDE, I WILL RELEASE IT. I WILL REPORT THAT HAPPENING LATER. HOPE IT'S NOT TOO LATE!
