Have you seen a Monarch Butterfly today?

Okay,  I did see a Monarch in my back yard today.   This is a Monarch that I raised from an egg and fed milkweed to the caterpillar, waited on PUPA stage and and fun releasing pretty butterfly in my backyard butterfly garden.

This Monarch is laying eggs on the milkweed.   I'll discuss later in this blog ways to attract Monarchs to your back yard and the habitat the Monarch requires.
