I've been receiving Monarch Butterfly eggs on small milkweed plants, raising the through the Larval and Pupal stages, and releasing them into my yard. They head right for the butterfly bushes, and have been hanging around our pool patio on sunny afternoons.
The desired end, of course, is to have the released Monarchs (or casual visitors) lay eggs on the milkweed I have planted in the yard and in large pots on the deck. Here is an image of one of the Monarchs checking out one of my milkweed plants: http://dan-matyola.squarespace.com/danmatyolas-pesos/2018/8/10/on-milkweed K-5 IIS, FA 100 mm Macro F 2.8 Comments and criticisms are both invited and appreciated.
