Monarch, Captive-Reared

Date: 09/04/2015

Number: 4

Today released 2 more adult females and 1 male. All 3 appear normal. Another 5th instar caterpillar failed to pupate into chrysalis. Same situation as the other 2...Normal J position, transition proceeded to about 20% green, struggle, deflation, but no dark liquid this time, death. I do not tag released adults because I have worried that the tag will make them targets for collection if they were lucky enough to reach Mexico. Residents are paid for collecting tags and I don't really know how that works.
