This is an update about the butterfly that eclosed on October 29. We kept him outside in a mesh cage with a heat source and fed him watermellon until November 3 because of bad weather. He was ready to go today with the temperature in the high 50s and full sun. It was windy but he managed to fly strong and high into a tree! We still have flowers and the weather will be nice for a week, so we hope that gives him a good start. We hope he keeps beating the odds all the way to Mexico.
