She is the last one I expect to have available for release in 2017. She seemed healthy and strong and ready to GO. Weather was great for butterflies and is expected to continue nice for several days. As I was releasing her the old tattered male was fluttering around the loquat tree very near by. Soon after I released her I ventured to another area of our yard where another loquat tree stands and observed the tattered male that has been around for several weeks and a young fresh looking male. I thought I had closed down my maternity ward and then I observed a very small caterpillar in empty cage. He must have entered the cage as an egg on plant life as I fed the one I released today. I took it and placed it on milkweed plant outdoors and as I did so another small caterpillar was on the plant so I guess I am not 'out of business' yet. It may be time to be 'out of business' because flowers are not very available.
