We have had about 5 days of 50s weather. I had my last 4 monarchs eclose last Thursday. I could not release them until today when we finally had sun and, amazingly, a high of 90, and back to 50s tomorrow. This was the only window I had to release them. They have been in a net expandable laundry basket since they eclosed. They had a potted plant, sugar water soaked paper towel and some crushed cantaloupe. They are tagged. They seemed confused when we released them all at once in our yard near flowers. But seemed to finally find their way out of our yard. I am really relieved to find out we can actually keep them alive for so many days. Thanks to all the info from so many out there that gave me hope!!
