Goodbye Butterflies

Momma said she is glad that we don’t have any more, but I want more caterpillars! I had lots of fun raising caterpillars this year. My deformed butterfly is still doing well. I released our last butterfly on Sunday. I hope that we can raise more butterflies next year. Even if Momma lets Mark raise a different kind, I hope to raise Monarchs again next year.

Last night we collected some milkweed and planted it in our garden. When you find the fuzzy stuff in a pod, we would like some please. We are going to try to have a butterfly garden!

Caterpillars collected this year: 70

Total Emerged Butterflies: 58

Survival Rate: 83%
