Good day! The tags we will be using to tag the monarchs before release have arrived! You can read all about them at www.monarchwatch.com ... this is a great source of info about monarchs as well! We will begin tagging all monarchs released, or just caught hanging around, this weekend.
A number more of the pupae emerged to monarchs today. I have paired off a number of the hatchlings from earlier in the week and contained them in the breeding boxes. Hopefully egg laying will begin shortly.
The black swallowtails have had a huge growth spirt! They are eating parsley plants down to the nub!
I discovered another group of small monarch larvae today in one of the breeding boxes... so there must have been some egg laying earlier than I expected on the last batch.
All for now...
