Monarch Invasion






While camping in Michigan we found a number of Monarch eggs and caterpillars. We have been raising a nursery of eggs, caterpillars and cocoons ever since.

The girls pick milkweed leaves for the caterpillars to eat. Two or three times when picking leaves, they have unknowingly brought home more eggs. Presently we have 2 cocoons, 3 caterpillars and 2 eggs. They are so much fun to watch! Butterfly pictures to follow!
