If we had a heat index of 105 here, I would definitely be letting those monarch caterpillars fend for themselves outside......<br /><br />Hi Mary, <br />Looking back in my posts from last year, the 2009 monarch ranch started up only a few days earlier. I tagged my first monarch butterfly on Aug. 16th and the last one of Sept. 10th. There were a total of 23 butterflies tagged. I hope to double that number this year.<br /><br />Me too Jayne. I think it's just so amazing that a butterfly lives inside the caterpillar.<br /><br />Hi Mom, <br />I sure hope so. Things are starting out pretty good anyway.<br /><br />Me too Mollie! They're just so beautiful and unique.RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-84419834694070645852010-07-25T12:02:18.987-05:002010-07-25T12:02:18.987-05:00I love that line of gold near the top of their chr...I love that line of gold near the top of their chrysalis. It really looks like gold to me. Wonder what its purpose is or why it's tht wonderful color?
