I got home from a garden club tour last night and the biggest caterpillar has begun pupating on the ceiling of their "house". Oh joy!<BR/><BR/>My office mate has taken Monarch Ranch II to the campground with her for the weekend. I can't wait to hear about the adventure on Monday.RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-2246064392576891952007-07-20T09:47:00.000-05:002007-07-20T09:47:00.000-05:00Looks like you are doing such a wonderful job with...Looks like you are doing such a wonderful job with these guys!

You're welcome!<BR/><BR/>Hi Ron,<BR/>What the co-workers didn't know about Monarchs, they will know by the end of today! I brought my Stokes' Butterfly Book to work also and will show pictures and answer questions for anyone who asks.<BR/><BR/>Hi Jayne, I'm not sure what the answer to your question is. I don't know if it's how big they get or how much food they find. Maybe Ron can help with this question??<BR/><BR/>Hi Maud,<BR/>It is interesting and FUN, and the best thing is that it's all FREE!<BR/><BR/>Oh Lynne, Bugs in my hair really creep me out--it gave me a shiver when I read your comment.<BR/><BR/>Hey Mary, sounds like a good plan (especially in light of what's going on here jobwise right now). This will work if you can give any good ideas in coming up with something for the "off-season" too.RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-89828556807865975092007-07-19T08:52:00.000-05:002007-07-19T08:52:00.000-05:00Sounds like you are in business, Ruth.

I thought this might happen, cats are so curious, that's why everytime I get flowers I have to put them on the entertainment center, TO KEEP THE CATS OUT OF THEM. I'm glad the monarchs are doing so well, keep us posted on both Monarch I & II.<BR/>MOMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
