Monarch, Captive-Reared

Date: 08/08/2016

Number: 70

Had a female from a few days before I had not let go. I saw an aggressive male flying around my yard. I caught him with my butterfly net. Put both in a large enclosed popup mesh clothes hamper. They mated. The next day, let the male go, then put in 3 potted milkweed plants some nectar flowers and fruit for the female. I left her in there about half day, then let her go and counted 70 eggs!
