We released five Monarchs today for a total of 64 so far. The largest number to be released in one day this year was 11. We have seven more in chrysalis form of which all but one will eclose during the next week. That one is from a larvae that pupated only today. It was a larvae taken from our field and matured very slowly perhaps due to the lateness of the season. It is a very small chrysalis and not likely to produce a butterfly successful for migration. When the season is finished we will have tagged 50 of over 70 Monarchs raised this year. All our tags range is UGL875-924 and if anyone sites one, we would love to hear of it. All the tagged Monarch leave here almost immediately after release. We have had a few Monarch appear in our milkweed field and are obviously 'wild' butterflies. We saw three last week, one of which had a bent hind wing and was less elegant in its flight. We think that is the reason that it has stayed around for several days now nectaring on our flowers.
