This season I have successfully raised and released 155 monarchs from egg/larvae found on my common, swamp, and butterfly milkweed I have growing in my yard at Waystation #11792. This last female, at 3rd instar, was found on milkweed at my home location in Ames, Iowa. She would not be ready to enclose for over a week, so I took her with us on our trip to Sealy, Texas (near Houston). She was tagged (YGT771) and released (10/13) in my brother's back yard, same place I saw my first monarch this season in April. Temp in Ames today 47, Sealy is 87. Much warmer and a lot closer to Mexico! :-)
