slowly coming to the end of my 100 --
school reports their last chrys emerged 10/14 and that the teacher (who had an away game) took her 120 miles south to Albany for release.
Community Action had 2 chrys left - one emerged 10/14 but was not strong enough to pump its wings, and it died.
At my house the last chrys, Hundred, did not die but is actually still alive. Did not pump its wings, and I thought it died. I had it in a cloth-covered container, and was I sur-prised to find it still alive. I took it outside to rejoin nature, so now he is sitting on a branch cushioned by a washcloth. Has made several strong efforts to fill out his wings. Still occasionally flaps a wing, looks like a fall leaf. Today its raining. I expect this one will slowly go dormant then freeze. surprised nothing has eaten him.
So we have one chrys left, at community action.
