Five Releases?! 8/19/15

Release Party

        Yesterday when I woke up there was one healthy female butterfly waiting for me. It was raining all day, so I waited until evening to watch her go. 

        It seemed that things would remain uneventful for a while, but then this morning, I woke up to FOUR chrysalides that were nearly ready to go.

        Sure enough, throughout today I gained Monarch after Monarch! It was very exciting and I was eager to let them all go. But again, it was raining and cold, so I waited until later. 

One...

Two...

Three...

And all four!

All healthy males.

        All in all it was a very exciting day. Tomorrow I should have one or two more butterflies, and maybe even a Hanging J or two. I'm still waiting on my two little friends to get going on that! Today I only brought in one plant for them to share since they will be entering pupae soon.

        That's all for today! Until next time :)
