Sorry for the late report. This is a good one! This creature was literally saved from a significant cold spell that hit my home the night of 25 Oct. So I brought it to my home for the evening and then took to work in my truck the next day as it was about to emerge and the next was to to be too cold. However the greenhouse effect of my truck (south facing at work) warmed the cabin to 80F and it emerged on noon the 26th. However it was forecast to drop in 30s that night so it spend the rest of day in truck and in my sun room overnight. Since my job site was literally on the flyway for migrating monarchs and which had ample food, I took it to work again the next day, now 27 October and released at noon when temps reached 65F. Thus I also gave it a 40 mile head start from my now cold home site where it was born and raised to the warmer city site where it was released. I have additional pictures of documentation but this sit only allows for 1 upload!
