One more eclosed today; 49 total -- maybe more if I missed anyone.

There are maybe 3 chrysalises left.

I lost one or two butterflies so far during the wing-fluffing process. All others appeared, then left.

These results were from about 120 eggs, and about 90 caterpillars. I lost about 1/3 to disease or insufficient food -- they ate my milkweed bare, and then some (smaller ones) didn't take to the butternut squash substitute. About ten chrysalises have failed to develop.
