I've had a total of 9 caterpillars. Three have died, five have transformed into a chrysalis and on to a Monarch Butterfly. I still have one chrysalis left that I think will "hatch" tomorrow. Four were males, one of them I didn't get to see because my son took care of it and released it for me. Here are some of the photos and two videos that I took. If you are interested in Monarch Butterflies and would like to raise them too, check my Cool Links. The above photos are of my first butterfly, from a gorgeous caterpillar into a beautiful butterfly.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'
