Our first Monarch has emerged. After finding our first larvae on August 29 we were occasionally finding them up until September 11 when we found our last 5 including one first instar. All together we are raising 16 this year, a far cry from the 50 we had last year. One of the last bunch we found has died and 5 maggots emerged from his carcass. I trapped them and will see what emerges from their cocoons(?). Back to our female named Stephanie, she is being released in Essex at Essex Public School by Mr. Prieur's grade 5 class. Beautiful, sunny, 25C with a South wind.
