I was debating on whether to post one of my photos. Last winter, I had some late emerging Monarchs. I couldn't release them because the weather was so cold and rainy, so I kept them in cages for their entire life cycle. The butterflies lasted 3-4 weeks. And ...... they mated! LOL They did have babies, but they weren't as healthy as the parent butterflies.
