I released 5 monarchs today. 3 males and two females. 4 were overnight quests and all 5 were released earlier this p.m. to sunny 80 degree weather. Two of the releases were "specials." One of the males came from any egg that had been detached from it's anchor on the milkweed leaf and was laying on its side. He came out just fine. The other was a female whose egg was in a pile of milkweed leaves I had soaked in cold water, wrapped in paper towels and put in the fridge overnight. I discovered the egg the next morning when I was checking each leaf before feeding them to the catapillars. She turned out just fine. Those eggs are really tough.
