Well, he didn't get too far! LOL I love your set-up, would love to have something like it. Again, congrats on all your releases.

Congrats to you! What an accomplishment. Thank you!

Nope! And of course it was a boy! Although it seems when I go to release them the girls are often more anxious to get going.

I smiled when I read your post title. I get a kick out of our stories of 'escapees' and the crazy places we find them :)

I love your hatchery and all of the activity!

Fantastic set-up. It's beautiful. If I had space for one I could see myself sitting near it all the time just observing. You should be proud!

No more escapees, but as of today I've released 151 monarchs! I don't have tons flying around my yard tho. Just like kids, off to the neighbors!

I'm curious how people with this kind of setup deal with frass. With my aquariums, I take them outside and dump them. I don't think that is a possibility here. Do you sweep up the frass or do you put down newspapers or is there a third choice?

Once they hatch, how do you release them outdoors? I have wanted to build a butterfly house for years.

thats lovely!

That's fantastic!
