AN UPDATE ON MY MONARCH PROJECT

I have about 6 monarch caterpillars now, and the biggest one has started to go into his chrysalis (I'll try to get a picture of him tomorrow).  He'll stay that way for about 2 weeks, and then he should come out and be a full-fledged monarch butterfly.  I hope he makes it before we go on vacation on August 27th.  That would be a bummer to wait and wait and then miss the transformation!  My other little creepy crawlers are scattered out on my various milkweed plants munching away, and they'll probably mature and be gone soon too.  Hopefully, they'll mate and lay eggs on the plants that they fed on, and this last generation of the summer will hatch out, and these will be the butterflies that migrate to Mexico for the winter.  Then, if I'm lucky, some of these butteflies will live to fly back to where they hatched, and the process will start all over again.  It's kind of miraculous, isn't it?
