I planned to get a photo of the male monarch I raised. He just emerged on 9-17.

I took a photo of his rearing and emerging cage instead. It is next to the common milkweed where I found the larva three weeks ago.

There was a brisk North/West breeze, sun and clouds. It was in the 50s, a bit chilly but this did not stop my boy from taking off as soon as I opened the door to the cage.

He was ready to escape.

Golden rod and asters are at peak right now, so there is plenty of fuel for him on my property and across our road where there is a huge field filled with golden rod and New England asters.
