More Monarch news

Got this email from Sheryl, on her Monarch experience. Now would be the time to transplant some milkweed to an out of the way spot in the garden so that you will be ready to feed Monarch caterpillars next summer! I have several plants that could be taken, or you could get them from fields, empty lots.

Hi Marna;

Thanks for the tip/link. Just wanted to update you; Bella was released last Monday and today, we
have 3 new butterflies that hatched this morning. My son is back from the Army for the week so
Naomi is here today; she got to watch them hatch and then had them on her hand once their wings
were mostly dried. I am attaching a pic of her holding two of them. She just had so much fun with
all of this. We have one more green cocoon and another caterpillar so two more butterflies will hatch
before it gets too much colder. It's so much fun!
