Let me take you on a journey of all their life stages. Please consider planting native plants, this will help save the monarchs! (this species was the Monarch Butterfly aka danaus plexippus)

    Been raising monarchs for years. It all started when did a project on raising painted lady caterpillars for my daughter 2nd grade class. Now she’s 30 & my acre lawn is a massive butterfly garden of many varieties. They are just the cutest. Have even had 30 caterpillars growing inside during the winter months. Had some even escaped & make cocoon in daughters room when she was young. Only to find her giggling one morning with her room full of butterflies 🦋. She was in heaven. :) If you have lil ones look into raising butterflies for them....

    Yeah i cried along with her. She is doing a beautiful and amazing thing for nature. I wish more ppl cared as much . Most ppl just use and abuse nature and we never just give back a lil. Did u ever wonder where all of your poop, pee and other gross stuff u make every day, goes? It goes into our waters and oceans and it’s killing wildlife. Our planet is dying. I don’t dare eat fish anymore . It’s too dangerous . Its not even our poop and pee that’s worst. But all the medical waste, medicines and needles and pills and poison all being thrown in oceans and our soil. The US isn’t even the worst offender, China and all those Asian countries are the worst violators. If ppl only knew just how much poison they dump every day. Diseases and poisons and deadly chemicals. All going into our precious oceans. And they’re just now finding dead fish and animals washing up on the beaches . The governments and scientists have known for a long time. They kept it from us and covered it up. Do u think the billionaires and powerful ppl eat the same foods we do? Heck no. They don’t even breathe the same air. They have built huge cities underground in other parts of the world where they have it stocked with food and grains to sustain life for over 100 years for a certain amount of ppl only . THERE IS A LIST. And no the list isn’t all just the rich, famous, smart and talented . No. Because they will need SLAVES. The only reason we even know about this is because some ppl talked. Many ppl have built these secret places. Do u really think they kept their mouth shut? No Of course not .

    I forget that raising monarch caterpillars isnt a normal part of everyone's lives. My mom started raising caterpillars in her classroom when she was a teacher, but even after she retired she raises them. She has milkweed all over her yard but when its caterpillar season, the milkweed cant grow fast enough. There will be chrysalis shells all along the fence and the house. We've found copycat monarchs (queen butterflies) mixed in as well. I hope your butterflies stop by her yard in Texas as they make their way down to Mexico. Maybe we'll raise the next generation.

    I've been raising Monarchs for 1 year now. My success rate from egg to butterfly is around 98% which is way better than the 5% chance if left untouched I read. I live in southern Cali by the ocean (Port Hueneme). There are so many amazing facts about these animals. They retain memories from being a caterpillar even though they liquify in the chrysalis. They also have navigation skills that we humans had to invent for ourselves in order to sail the ocean blue. They have it built in, the sun moves in the sky but they adjust on their trip to Mexico. They also find nectar via their ability to see ultraviolet areas of certain plants. Some butterflies are large and live 10 times longer than the others but they can't reproduce, odd right?

    Hello. To make the caterpillars more comfortable, you can recreate their natural environment. The plants, in a glass with water, and add branches to climb, they like to move away to shed their skin. It is good to clean and remove their droppings, they do not like it to be in their food.

    It's important to wear a respirator mask when tending your caterpillars in order to prevent mold from forming on the leaves and paper towels. Also, you can buy small cages at pet stores which are suitable for rearing caterpillars. I constructed by own cage with grates and a removable pan at the bottom. I'm presently rearing 126 Monarchs. I've already released about 40 adults into the wild.

Today I went to open the pod and there was a very tiny Monarch caterpillar on the pod!!!! There must have been an egg on it. I got on Amazon and ordered the butterfly cage for him. I am so excited! I bought a little house in Northern Minnesota and immediately planted milkweed. Then I found some on the road edge next to me. That's where Elmer J Fudd came from!🥰. I also had planted prairie flowers in my garden which are on full swing! Thank you again for taking the time to make your wonderful video❤❤❤🦋

    You can tell if an adult monarch is either a male or a female. The hind wings of the male have a small widening of one of the black veins near the centre of the wing. This is the scent pouch used to attract females.

    You're lucky, to get such lovely butterflies. In the UK we don't get such impressive ones. That was a lovely video though very informative.

    I have raised 6 monarchs from Caterpillar to butterfly, and released them once they were ready. It was an absolutely amazing opportunity, and will do it again! I have learnt so much from the experience, and they are amazing and beautiful creatures!

    Great video. Very informative. I'm currently raising monarchs and have 7 chrysalis and at least 22 or more caterpillars in all stages.

    Thanks for your dedication to the Monarchs! I feed them and raise them too. It’s very satisfying to take part in their survival.

    The mother and two babies I rescued don't touch alot but they really like to stay near each other I've noticed. They look around when they get separated until they get back to each other and it's the cutest thing

    I have my own caterpillar I found on the sidewalk on my way back to school I picked them up right before he was about to be smushed and I brought him to my home he's fluffy and is black a orenge I use a jar and I just search up what they eat I put leafs, stick, and grass I can't wait to see him become a butterfly he's so adorable aso! My dad told me he was on is way to becoming a butterfly already I've had him chill on my arm and stuff he was eating a grass as he was on my arm and he always eats up at the glass of the jar I can now watch him a study him!

    Thank you and I agree. We need to help our local wildlife. Next year I would love to do this again and maybe try to help other local butterfly species as well. Im thinking of printing a flyer to post on my apartment building door that might let people know about planting local plants on their balcony.

    I raise them as well... if you raise them again, you can get a clear container with a lid and cut v cuts into the lid and stick cuttings from the plant in the v on the top and it'll help keep the leaves nice and fresh while they're eating
