Monarch protective enclosure in my back yard


For years I’ve planted butterfly weed hoping to attract monarch butterflies. Alas, none ever accepted my invitation. About two weeks ago, I was delighted to find two plants with caterpillars. I hurried home and put them in their protective cage.
I was just in the nick of time.They had pupated by the next morning, I’ve been anxiously watching their progress and was so excited this morning to find two incredible monarch butterflies in my enclosure. I opened the cage and they’d left within the hour. I am so in hopes monarchs will find their way back here in their fall migration.
Fantastic!! Great job!
