There's a million things to blog about. I'm way behind & lots is going on. However, I'm going to throw in one quick post to welcome our Monarch Butterfly 'Charlie' into the world. He hatched out this morning...two days early little stinker!
Charlie is our first butterfly! His predecessors, Alpha and Bravo, both died in the pupae stage (Alpha fell & splatted, Bravo had a lethal parasite).
Delta and Echo are both pupating right now & should appear in 9 days if they don't have the dreaded parasite too.
Foxtrot, Golf, Hotel, India, Kilo, Juliet & Lima are still caterpillars & are munching away on Crown Flower leaves in the schwanky 'Butterfly Castle' we purchased.
We're raising monarchs quite by accident & totally loving it! We're going to turn our screened lanai into an indoor monarch house. Woo! Helping an endangered species is WAY FUN.
