We hand raised a Monarch caterpillar from 4th instar on July 16th. It formed a chrysalis on July 21. A male Monarch butterfly emerged on August 3rd and was released back to the common milkweed patch that we found it in as a caterpillar. Saw it again the next morning as the temperature was only 10 Celsius. After warming up and flapping its wings a few times, and landing, it finally flew up into an oak tree. It was an amazing experience!
