Two monarch caterpillars were sighted in my yard August 26th. They created chrysalises a few days later and were brought in out of the elements. The first emerged Sept. 7th and after drying flew away. It was very large and I suspect it was female. The second emerged Sept 8th, it was smaller and a male. However, due to an intense period of heavy rain and cold weather he was not released until Sept 12th. Until his release, he was kept inside and feed then flew away healthy. The photo is of the second monarch.
