Monach Updates

First, here's a recently hatched Swallowtail butterfly.


This is the Monarch habitat. There's currently 3 good sized larvae in the milkweed, and one smaller guy in the little enclosed container. He might get eaten by the bigger ones if I let him roam free.

The egg hatched early this morning! I found the egg this past Friday, and checked on it last night and found the top of the egg was black- a good sign its about to hatch. Sure enough, there's a tiny little caterpillar in there, munching on its egg this morning. He's way too small to get a pic of. He'll be living in the petri dish for about a week.
