I released a female Monarch about an hour ago. I currently have three chrysalis and two cats. The cats hatched 8/11 and went on the road with me to South Dakota for a few days on 8/13. I packed up some common milkweed leaves in wet paper towels and put them in a plastic container, in my cooler. The Monarch Lab said they would be good for up to a week if I kept them cool. Fortunately, I had a small fridge in my motel room and there is plenty of milkweed in South Dakota. I put the cat containers in a cooler and strapped them in. I was concerned that the ride might effect them adversely but they didn't skip a beat - they just keep eating.
