I have been raising Monarch's in my home, some from eggs and others as caterpillars. I have released 27 butterflies so far this summer beginning on June 16th. I have 2 cats remaining in the habitat; one in pre pupa stage. I have over a dozen milkweed plants in my yard. Every night after work I would check the plants for eggs & caterpillars. My interest in helping the Monarch survival began in 2013 after I read they are on their way to extinction. I reared both Swallowtail & Monarch butterflies in 2013 & 2014. This year I concentrated on Monarch's only. Last year 33 Monarch's were released from my habitat.
