emerged this morning with one more to go, most likely tomorrow.... plus I now again have many eggs and little ones that seem to be healthy and hope I can get them to this point where they can all spread their wings!!

Hi Terri!! I haven't seen monarchs in my garden in years, so last year I bought my first milkweed and like magic they came!!! I heard that their population is down and that they need our help with planting the milkweed and for protecting them against preditors.... so I felt honored to help and for doing it for the first time last year... I raised and released 23!! ...and when they came back this year, I was thrilled, even went out and bought another plant so they don't run out of food! ...and the rest is history!! Glad you liked #2 & #3!!

You are doing a great job Angela, caring for and photographing those beautiful creatures.

Thanks so much, Bill.... I think the word is out about my nursery school, I have little ones lined up to attend!! Thankfully I always have my cell on me to take the pictures just so I can document what's happening!
