From the end of July through the end of August I observed female monarchs laying eggs on our small milkweed patch. I collected the leaves with eggs and raised them inside until they were about 3/4”. Then I put them in a net cage On the front porch containing swamp milkweed plants. I added water containers of common milkweed leaves after they completely devoured the swamp milkweed. My first eclose was on August 27. The last was October 2. I released 45 Monarchs during that time. 21 males and 24 females.
