| Hello everyone
Like everyone on here we love Monarchs and want to preserve them for our future generations, well I want to take my efforts from the waystation that me, my 2 year old and husband built to the next level and begin raising healthy Monarchs for release into the wild. We believe in the programs that monarchwatch and mlmp.org organize that we want to be a larger part than just our waystation. If you will please follow the link below to read more and please share the link with family and friends. http://www.gofundme.com/ebtns |

| Growing up, every summer I collected monarch cats from my uncle's farm in Fremont. How many monarchs (or other lepidoptera) did you raise last year? KC |

| Good luck with your efforts to help Monarchs Kristin, you are kind of preaching to the choir here because many of us raise Monarchs and other butterflies. What are you planning to do with the $2000 you hope to raise? I have found that raising butterflies requires lots of time (very fun time at that!) but not much $$$, especially if you grow the host plants from seed. |
