Yesterday I received a rearing kit from Monarch Watch: https://www.monarchwatch.org/ https://shop.monarchwatch.org/product/Rearing-Kit/113232
The kit contains fourteen to sixteen first instar monarch larvae (caterpillars) which arrive in small cups with concentrated milkweed plant extract. I carefully transferred the cups to a net cage containing a potted Milkweed plant. My earlier group of larvae came from Rose Franklin's Perennials, and came packed with Milkweed leaves: http://www.monarchs-and-milkweed.com/Monarch%20Larvae.htm The US one cent coin is for size comparison: http://dan-matyola.squarespace.com/danmatyolas-pesos/2021/6/23/tiny K-5 IIs with SMC DA 55 mm F 2.8 Macro Limited Comments, criticisms, suggestions, and questions are invited and appreciated.
