On September 17th, 2020 I found five monarch caterpillars on my backyard milkweed. I brought them inside and put them in separate containers. By September 22, they were all in chrysalis. On October 3rd they began to emerge. I took lots of video and watched them for long periods of time. On October 6th the last one flew on it’s way. There were two females and three males.
This is my first experience with this wonderful process of nature. With luck it won’t be my last!
