Monarch Butterflies

We have already had a bumper year of Monarch butterflies this year. From January to mid May we said farewell to 333! That's a hundred up on last year. We are now going into the winter break so we will resume our care when the climate is more favourable. With predators and without help, few would survive

Picture above: This caterpillar walked several metres to latch and hatch on this shopping list in the garage!

Picture left: A lot of hungry ones feeding away on a plant. They soon got a new supply of swan plant.

Picture below: Another batch about to take to the sky. Thirteen was the most we had on a day.
