Approximately 50 adult monarch butterflies were released at a Nature Festival in North Java around 3PM. These butterflies were raised from the larval stage. The caterpillars were collected by a man who lives in Warsaw, New York. He has years of experience raising monarch caterpillars. I was told by this man that he found around 300 monarch caterpillars in a country field in Warsaw. I'm not sure of the date. But this was an incredible find that I hope to report after I have more details.

He will be releasing more monarch butterflies as they emerge from their chrysalids.

He says that last year (2014) he did not find any monarch larvae.
