Oh no, you didn't mess them up by bringing them in. You just insured that those made it to the butterfly stage! Aren't they fun to raise? They are my favorites. They are so personable. I love how they bob up and down when you talk to close to them.

I've got a ton of milkweed for them, but no eggs. The Monarch's have been here for a few weeks tho. Not in great numbers, about 5-6 a day. Last year when they migrated, they came directly over MY house. Right across the backyard, over the fence or house and across the front yard. Not 1000's like I would like to see, but about 5-10 at a time, just a steady stream. I hope they come again!
