Today No. 176 was released from our butterfly house, a beautiful male monarch butterfly.

This beauty hung out for a while before we put it on a flower, letting it decide when it wanted to fly away.

My daughter letting the newly hatched monarch butterfly and a caterpillar found in the garden, now a resident of the butterfly house, crawl on her arm.

As always, here’s my page with more information and photographs about the monarch butterfly https://bit.ly/3Qrrs7A.
