    1. Saw my first one yesterday the 23rd. It was in the open field area of the gardens. One year we raised a number of them from the eggs on the milkweed to full flying and then released them - don't know if they made it to MEXICO.

    1. Anna, the butterfly is a Monarch. It migrates from Mexico doing four generations in one season to get this far North. Then the last generation flys all the way back to the same part of Mexico never having been there before. It is a very interesting migration pattern. Lots of programs about that butterfly. We have raised some and released them back on their way South to Mexico.
