This is a monarch that was discovered and rescued from a new house under construction. The monarch was in the pupa stage at the time and the chrysalis would have been destroyed by framers reinforcing chrysalis' location which was an area in the basement. (See "other" sightings on 9-11, Xenia, OH)

The caterpillar crawled 30' just within the basement area alone before settling into a corner of the basement's ceiling.

Upon discovery the chrysalis was removed and placed into my safekeeping. This wonderful male monarch emerged on 9-19 and was released 9-20. I miss him and want to raise more! I hope and pray that he makes it to Mexico, I named him Monarch :)
