Finally warm enough to release our last three captive-reared monarchs, from eggs (and I think one very small caterpillar) collected around the beginning of September. We had been feeding them on bouquets of tithonia, tropical milkweed, Gomphocarpus physocarpus, and garlic chives, along with sugar/electrolyte solution for more than a week for the oldest one. They were very eager to leave. Obviously, their chances aren't great. One male and one female were very large. Another female was on the small side. This brings our 2018 release total to 148.
