saving the monarchs


We started a monarch butterfly garden. We have had over 40 caterpillars and have released 7. Often they will walk several yard to cocoon but some have stayed nearby. Now once we see the caterpillars getting big we bring them into the screened in porch so we can see the process. The boys have been loving it and we have all learned so much.
