Number: 160

My spring release was exceptional (117) but 25 eggs from the fourth generaton turned black. My instinct to quarantine/dispose turned out to be smart so the rest were fine. With the help of family, friends, neighbors, 2 churches, 3 businesses, and strangers, I currently have 160 caterpillars and chrylases. I even found eggs in my backyard (a rarity) and hope that the loss of one egg collection site (my favorite park told me I can't take milkweed leaves out of the park) won't affect future numbers. GO MONARCHS. The number of people helping monarchs is awesome. I am so thrilled that I will release my first fall migration monarch tomorrow (8-8-15).
