Monarchs

[Sycamore67]

I have not posted lately and have done very little scrolling.  My hands and wrists are causing my problems.  Hopefully, I will start scrolling again soon.

We have been collecting Monarch Caterpillars this fall and raising them.  We have released 8 Monarchs this year.  It is a thrill to see them flutter away knowing that they will start their migration soon. I have attached pictures of the on a Milkweed leaf, in the Chrysalis and a male sitting in my hand before fluttering away.

Sorry to hear of your problems with your hands and wrists. Prayers for those to get better.  

Thanks for sharing your pics and info. on the monarch butterflies and your work with them.  Beautiful.

It's nice to see them still around. I only was a handful of the butterflies this year and no caterpillars. Thanks for sharing the photos. Hope your hands and wrist get better.
