Four more monarch butterflies hatched successfully today taking our total count to 130 that we have released.

My husband built our first butterfly house on June 13, 2021. It has since been downsized and moved on our porch, as something was breaking through the screen to take the chrysalis when located outdoors. Our first monarch butterfly hatch was on June 23, just 10 days later. Our caterpillar raising has not been consistent since last June, until the past few months, as we have had a healthy supply of new caterpillars continually entering our butterfly house and finishing its life cycle. When you start to raise caterpillars, you see first hand that not all make it to a butterfly.
