Oh .... and I am babysitting 2 Gulf Fritillary cats and one G.F. chrysalis for my classroom. The little girl in my class who we call the "caterpillar momma" took some home as well. She has her own little cage and I gave her another one of my potted milkweed plants (that is small) with 3 of the large Monarch cats on it. Hopefully, they will go into the chrysalis stage soon. I told her and her older sister to call me if they eat the plant down. Their mom or dad can bring them by my house and I'll give them another plant. lol She takes her momma job VERY seriously. She checks them constantly and has really sharp eyesight and can see things I can't see. She never ceases to astonish us with her eagle eyes and knowledge! She loves her cats and butterflies! :-) :-) :-) :-) I promised her some seeds for this summer to start either her own little garden in her yard or in a container. I'm going to give her all butterfly host plants. She's very excited about that! :-)
