I like your cage. It looks like a good size. You will want something on the bottom of it, because they poop A LOT (lol) and for cats that purge themselves before pupating. I have to keep newspaper on the bottom of mine. All of your Monarchs will go to the top of it to hang. Other kinds will attach to the wooden parts on the side or maybe a branch if you put on in it.

This is the best picture I could find of my cage. My dad made it from the directions in a book I got at the library. It has 3 screen sides and one side is plexiglass, which is awesome! It's turned upside down in this picture. It has a little hinged door on the bottom of one side that opens. After using it for a couple of years tho, and accidentally leaving it outside a few times, it's gotten kind of warped. It serves it's purpose tho. I would like one that is bigger tho. I also use a 10 gallon aquarium for some too.
