Welcome Everyone!

The season is uponst me! My odd little hobby of raising Monarch Butterlies has now gone into high gear and upon persistent urging...I have finally begun to put down all of the excitement that will take place over the next 6 weeks or so.
Thank-you very much for reading this blog and perhaps you will find yourself wanting to help a critter on this planet that needs help.

A sighting...

Late last night, I caught something happening that I had not yet seen.   A Monarch caterpillar shedding it's skin.  It does this as it grows.  I have read that it does this 5 times while in caterpillar stage.   It sheds the skin, but then eats it.   I caught Cleopatra at it last night.
