I released a female monarch about 45 minutes ago (11:45am). She hatched early this a.m. before 7a.m. I let her wings finish drying then moved her from the plastic container to a larger (15"x15") butterfly cube I recently acquired. She worked her wings in there and when I released her she took right off for the small Nannyberry trees and flew away within 10 minutes. I released a male Monarch yesterday but I didn't keep him inside as long and he sat in the tree for a long time before he ventured of the branch. Two chrysalis on board and two fifth instars ready to J-hook at any moment.
