Monarch, Captive-Reared
Sightings report image

Date: 05/09/2019

Number: 4

Today 4 monarchs emerged from their chrysalises ~ two males & two females. They were all healthy and beautiful! They were released this afternoon.

I collected a few eggs today from milkweed where I had seen a bright first generation monarch laying her eggs on 5/6/2019. Not sure if she was one of our releases or a migrating monarch from elsewhere.

Today's monarch release brought the total indoor-reared number to 33. I continue to see a few caterpillars in the fields, but not many. The milkweed is healthy and many are newly emerged ~ all the recent rainstorms have been beneficial in that way.
