1 monarch eclosed from her chrysalis on our porch. Female, healthy. She eclosed about 3 pm. I tried to release her before dark at 6:40 pm, but she wasn't ready to go. She stayed in her enclosure overnight with a towel covering her. I released her the following morning, on 10/10/2025 around 11:30 am. She flew very well and headed straight for a pawpaw tree.
