Last night I set up our black light to try to attract large moths.
I also tried a beer, banana and brown sugar mix that I spread on our trees to try to attract some moths too. I found a tulip tree moth and several little moths like the Isabella tiger moth and a bunch of different types of inch worm moths.
I hope I can try again this weekend and hopefully find a luna moth.
The other day I found these egg cases. The first one I know is a praying mantis. The second one, I think, is also a praying mantis. They should hatch in about a month. Each egg case has around 200-500 praying mantises in them.
Today is National learn about butterflies day!
Here are some fun monarch butterfly facts:
Monarchs typically ride air currents of 800-1200 feet, The highest recorded was 11,000 feet!
Monarchs fly at a rate of 10-12 MPH.
Monarchs travel an average of 25 miles a day.
The largest known monarch migration site in Mexico is 216.21721 square miles.
Monarchs can flap their wings 120 times a minute.
A group of monarchs is called a congregation.
A group of monarch caterpillars is called an army.
A newly hatched caterpillar gains about 2,700 times its original weight before reaching chrysalis stage.
A large caterpillar can eat an entire milkweed leaf in less then 4 minutes.
“If we’re gonna fly, we fly like eagles
Arms out wide
If we’re gonna fear, we fear no evil
We will rise
By your power, we will go
By your spirit, we are bold
If we’re gonna stand, we stand as giants
If we’re gonna walk, we walk as lions”
-Lions by Skillet –
I found this quote the other day, (I can’t remember where)
” I hate when People see Me at the super market and are like:
‘Hey what are you doing here?’
And I’m like ‘Oh you know hunting elephants’.”
Guess how many monarch eggs I found today.
This morning I was able to release my first batch of monarchs!
I released five monarchs and three painted ladies. I have two monarchs that emerged this afternoon, I will release them soon!
Today we did a color run. It was fun. I am not sure how fast I was, but I was the fastest girl and came in about tenth place. I had fun and hope to do it again. 
Today, I tried to sell some of home made soaps, hard lotion and bath stuff I made at Soup for Success tea party. I did not sell as much as I wanted, but I had fun. I am still selling what I have, so if you want to get some please let me know via the comments.
