Monarch, Captive-Reared

It's a gloomy day, 65 degrees with rain expected. I released a large male this a.m. He eclosed about noon yesterday. I attempted to release him a little after 4pm while there was still sun but the winds were so gusty he just couldn't get airborne and he clung to a black-eyed Susan. After an hour of this I walked up to him and he climbed on my finger and back to the cube he went for an overnight stay. This morning he came out and took right off circling the yard and then high up into a nearby tree. I checked the mesh cube. There were still little wet drops of fluid this a.m. There were a lot of dry fluid spots also. It was a large chrysalis.
