I released Monarch Butterflies numbers 19-21 this year. Also, the butterfly I was taking care of, seemed to be flying stronger today. It flew a few times about 50 ft. before I couldn't find it again. Hopefully it will be able to take care of itself outside now. I have to be positive and think that I hopefully made it stronger in the last few days by taking it out a couple times of day to nectar on Common Milkweed flowers. There is just a couple more to go to release now. Maybe I will help late season caterpillars too. I am stopping raining now. It is advised by Monarch experts to raise only one generation for genetic purposes for the wild population.
