Released two female adults at 12:45 pm EST. Both emerged from their chrysalis yesterday morning. Both immediately took soaring flight. It was 59 degrees F and supposed to get a few degrees warmer before chilling this evening into 40's. Fairly strong north wind. Hoping they will get further south before dark into warmer night temperatures. Tomorrow weather looks favorable in southerly flight path. These were hand raised from caterpillars found in tropical milkweed in my garden.
