A Few Good Monarchs

Update on the Butterflies.

We have 4 girl butterflies today and 1 boy. All seem to be healthy and are eating. They are sipping honeydew melon nectar through their proboscis.

The clip above shows one of the girls enjoying her breakfast.  If the weather is a little nicer tomorrow, we will release them all. 

We also have a "unicorn". I was informed that it will be fine after it develops. This little caterpillar has only one tentacle....at this point they are not called antennae. 

No new eggs. Still looking.
Last year at at this time, I had over 300 eggs and cats and butterflies, in comparison to my 28 little guys as of today.
Well, we are still in July. There's hope for more.
