I released 3 females and 2 males this afternoon. The picture I attached is a just shortly after the monarch came out the chrysalis . I found the chrysalis on a milkweed plant. I decide to top the plant and put in water to see if it will root. My first thought was to save the chrysalis . Happy to say this monarch did fly away.
Now the verdict on the milkweed is still out. The top dies off but the bottom is green and there are a couple of leaves so nothing to loose I will wait and see what happens. Its annual milkweed but the monarch seem to like this plant to lay their eggs. My friend brought it from Florida and I doubt it will make through our winters here.
