Monarchs


The boys came home from the tennis courts with two monarch caterpillars a couple of weeks ago. After a few days of milkweed they chrysalized and hatched out right on schedule. This was a big relief to me as our last attempt at this resulted in a dead chrysalis. A Daddy-long-legs chewed through the casing and sucked it dry. I was shocked! I didn't think they could do that! We made a point of meticulous vacuuming around the aquarium this time. Death to Spiders!!! At least in the house.
