While I was out my husband took this photo of the Monarch butterfly we successfully raised from an egg we collected. This is one of two eggs accidentally collected as we were obtaining Milkweed leaves for a Monarch 'cat' that we thought was still growing. The leaves were soaking in lightly soapy water when the eggs were found! Therefore, the eggs must be waterproof up to 10 minutes, and not adversely affected by the mild amount of dish washing liquid. Also, to our surprise, the 'cat' was searching for a location to 'J-hang' and didn't even need to eat! So delightful!
