The obvious question here: how can you tell that it's a boy?

They leave so soon. Hopefully the next one will be a girl.

Angela, great photo of another release. I just commented on another post that I hope to see a Monarch passing by on the way to your nursery

Once you know how to ID them, it's so easy.... you can see on this male, he has two black ovals on the inside of his lower wings.... those are the males scent glands and the female does not have them. So far, I released 1 female to 3 males!!

Hi Sue.... I explained it to tomcat.... so far I released 1 female & 3 males. Last year there were more males born as well!

Out of the 4 that emerged.... 1 girl!! Now I have a lot of caring to do before the next batch.
How are your eggs doing?? I left one on the plant and covered the section with a very soft, sheer netting... I want to try that out, but I do have 5 eggs inside waiting to hatch.
