Raising Monarch Butterflies


Today we went exploring for monarch butterfly eggs. You can find them on milk weed plants. We did not find any eggs but did find two monarch larvae. We carefully brought them home and put them with their milk weed leaf into a jar. In about 10-14 days they should start to form their chrysalis. Right now they are very small, probably about 4 days old. They will grow much bigger over the next few days. I will you posted as our caterpillar grows!
