We released thirty-one butterflies on Saturday, Sept. 26th. I had a GREAT milkweed patch this year and collected the eggs from my plants back in late August. All eggs arrived in the course of a two-day period so likely one or two females who stopped by in that short period of time. Overall, it was a light year for monarchs in Mebane, NC. I didn't see the female laying the eggs, and I saw no other monarchs this season. I typically also have monarch visitors in May as they make their trek up the east coast to cooler states, but didn't this year. Godspeed, lovelies. Mexico or bust!
