Monarch Update

Our last 2 butterflies have emerged. One yesterday and one today. It appears that this is also a male and a female, so hopefully we will be able to get some additional caterpillars to study from one of the pairs.

Madeline has been tending to the butterflies, making sure they have food, and watching them closely. She is very observant and notices even the smallest detail about them! I know that she does not want this adventure to end. She checks the milkweed plants we have in our butterfly garden daily for eggs from other Monarchs. She has yet to find any, however.
