Today was a bumper crop of newborn monarchs! They were from caterpillars brought in from our pastures and raised indoors. This group had 6 males and 4 females. Eight of them were born in the morning and early afternoon, so were released today. Two of them emerged from their chrysalises in the late afternoon, so were kept overnight and released the following morning.

This is a photo of one of the gorgeous newborn males getting ready to take his first flight and fly north with his siblings!

PS. Because I had newborn monarchs kept overnight from the day before, a total of 15 monarchs were released today ~ a group in the morning (7) and a group in later afternoon (8). What a joy!
