Monarch, Captive-Reared

Date: 09/03/2018

Number: 33

I found a monarch female laying eggs on our milkweed patch in the suburbs. I took all the eggs I could find and I brought them inside to ensure that they all became butterflies. We had 33 hatch out of their chrysalids over the Labor day weekend. I transferred the monarchs to an outdoor screenhouse so that they wouldn't fly around the house! I filled it with bee balm, mint, butterfly bush and zinnia plants. We released all 33 on Monday, September 3rd.
