Number: 95

Since I last reported to you on May 15th I have released 95 more monarchs. I bring baby cats found on my outdoor plants into my lanai to protect them and release them when they emerge. Until the past two weeks I noticed a lot of variation in color...some are much darker than others and the black bands appear to be wider. I have been raising monarchs as a hobby for over 20 years and I don't remember seeing this before, other than late in the season when the temps start to get cold.
