Last year we had a lot of fun raising Yellow Sulphur butterflies. This year I decided to plant milkweed to attract Monarchs too and it worked! I saw some flying around and they were so beautiful. The wasps are back too and they love to eat the caterpillars and chrysalids so we bought a glass cage and we have been bringing eggs and caterpillars inside. It is amazing to watch them grow from eggs to tiny caterpillars to big caterpillars and now to beautiful Monarch butterflies. Every morning we go to the cage to see if anything new has happened and this morning we were rewarded by our first Monarch. Carlos and Titi were very excited and we named it Cookie, like the one in a TV show. We released it when they got back from school.
