Oops! Lost track of this thread. All the butterflies were released. There were 6 males and the rest were all females. Several of the females have come back and have laid eggs on the milkweed. After a week or so, I find the cats once again and collect them and add them to the caterpillar cages. I probably have close to 20 more caterpillars again. They sure eat a lot of Milkweed!!!

Here is a photo of the Milkweed growing all over the place in the daylily bed. This raised bed serves double-duty! Well worth it too! Love all the butterflies in my yard every day!
