One of my 2 dozen monarchs raised this summer eclosing :)
I went from raising 7 last year to tripling that this year which is awesome! I hope next year that my milkweed will be abundant enough that I wont have to bring them in
(excuse the poor quality and shaky hand)

A quick flat piece of my Sphinx oc, Pockets (nb, they/them)
They're usually carrying a big messenger bag covered in their namesake pockets as they are a package and message sender

Some photos of all the caterpillar enclosures cleaned up and restocked with fresh food! Next year I hope to have enough plants that I wont need to bring in everyone because feeding 20-30 cats is hard work!
9 chrysalises + about 3-5 caterpillars per enclosure

It's impossible to tell as caterpillars effectively, but once they're butterflies, females have thicker black wing stripes and males will have a dot on each of their bottom wings!
Insects are so cool and have such wild and colorful lives 🧡

I was literally just going out to pick food for my current caterpillar population and I guess my milkweed is just THE place to be now

Excited to help them grow!

Didn’t get the chance to prep a potted milkweed this year so cleaning and food refills will be daily! Worth it for the caterpillars 💕

just found another monarch egg not trying to on the plant, and then saw the potential mama return to the scene - going egg hunting after dinner!
