Monarch, Captive-Reared

Date: 09/10/2018

Number: 2

Thus far only one of the six Monarch cats (a male) we brought in this summer came to healthy maturity and was released on 10 Sept. A second is still in its chrysalis.

The remaining four cats had already been corrupted by parasites, we assume, before entering the enclosure, and either dried up and died or formed abnormal, unproductive chrysalises.

Last year we released 16 healthy Monarchs, so this year has been quite worrisome.
