Released 13 adult butterflies reared outside in mesh “protective custody”. Have another 10 chrysalis and 5 more caterpillars (1 J hook) found a 2nd instar today outside on last remaining good milkweed. Left him out as risk of wasp attack seems mostly over. Lost a total of 4 this year. Three caterpillars to Black Death and 1 butterfly reborn with deformed wings. NOTE: my eggs were harvested from my own milkweed in this yard and cages are kept outside to best approximate natural conditions... just protecting from predators.
