I raised and released 10 Monarchs from eggs I found in my garden. This one was from a third instar caterpillar I found on our property up in Montello on 9/11/16. I brought it home, fed it Milkweed, and provided a safe enclosure in which it could form its chrysalis. It emerged on 10/8/16: a female. I released it the next day at Lake Farm County Park. It sunned for about 45 minutes, and then took off and caught a thermal--flying up beyond the distance my eyes could see. Safe travels!
