We witnessed two monarch butterflies feeding on the milkweed in our backyard. Later this evening, we took in 18 eggs to help grow into maturity. We currently have 14 caterpillars feeding on the milkweed plants we bring in to them in their large tank. Our largest caterpillar (approx. 6-7 days old) molted today! We call him "Big Fella". We plan to grow them and release them as butterflies. Praying all goes well!
