I started "saving" cats because I found wasps eating them, which made me a tad monarch crazy. I have 21 Chrysalids in my Monarch cat house that should emerge over the next 10 days.

Check my posts - the house was easy to build (and cheap)

Thank you Sheilia fw for the design idea. It is working out awesome. If anyone needs tropical milkweed seed - I've got loads and will be happy to share - just send me your address.

My pots of milkweed now need some time to recover from being eaten. :)

I also cat hunt around my house which has loads of milkweed planted.
and bring in the little guys onto my screen in lanai to save from the wasps.

I found the pvc at home depo 10 ft for $.72 couplers for $.28 fabric for 1.50 a yard.
zippers removed from old comforter bags...
grid shelf was an old ac filter (washable).
I found "floral tubes" at Michaels and filled them with floral foam to put fresh leaves it.
I also use newspaper to line the bottom (way cheaper than papertowels).


This is such a neat hobby. It doesn't cost a lot and we are saving Monarchs and Queens.\
