Lol, Thanks for all the pats on the back, but without Daves, I never would have done this!
My kids and even hubby have enjoyed watching the different stages and release.


Do butterflies only live a few weeks? I now the monarchs migrate to becky and Debs house, but other than them I have no idea.

Is there a site that will tell me which butterflies migrate and which just live a short time.

Now there are new 1st stage monarch cats on the milkweed again. Will they have enough time to grow and migrate or are they goners. There are also many 1&2 stage gulf fritillary cats on the passion vine.

CordelleDeb, I was afraid of the casualty I was having too. After hearing that I only had to 1 out of 100 successful release to break even, I was able to lighten up. Then everything just started working. Very few losses after that. According to all the successful releases you have had, you are wayyyyyy ahead of nature. Congrats! My husband says we are upsetting the ecology! LOL
