On 6/8/14 we collected about 80 eggs from common milkweed planted in our Monarch Waystation.

We raised and released 38 monarchs from 7/9/14 to 7/11/14. Found 1 cat and 8 eggs 7/10/14 and 11 more eggs 7/11/14. 7/16/14 found 1 chrysalis and released it 7/26/14.

8/3/14 we found one 4th instar cat in showy milkweed, and two 1st instar cats in common milkweed. We released 16 monarchs between 8/9/14 to 8/12/14, one more 8/16/14, and the final monarch was released 9/1/14.

After each release, monarchs stayed near garden from a couple of hours to several days. For photos see: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/453811682/milkweed-for-monarchs-butterfly-garden/posts
