Florida, the Monarchs do not migrate, and from January to june, we have raised 11 Monarch Butterflys, from worm to Cysilis to the Butterfly. We have Milkweed planted, and in pots. I built a small cage, large enough to put a planted milkweed in. When we sight a worm, we put him in the cage with a MW Plant, and after they eat, they go to the top of the cage, and form a Crysilis. They hatch and once the wings dry, we let them loose. We buy the MW Plant from Lowe's and in Dec. we got some bad MW, and the worms died in there Crysilis or the Monarcs came out with split wings and died. After we changed plants, they hatched OK. Giecko's are are biggest problem.
