Giant milkweed in bloom.

The Giant Milkweed started blooming and the Monarchs started laying their eggs. 😍 I'm so excited to start this year's butterfly raising journey. I've ordered tags for this fall. 👍

Monarch Butterflies drying their wings

I've released 21 monarchs in the last 3 days. I have 5 chrysalises and about 30 more caterpillars. The milkweed has started to slow down its growth. Hopefully it will be enough to support all these caterpillars. 😆 🦋🐛 #monarch #buttetfly #🦋 #raisingbutterflies

Connect with nature 🥰 #🦋 #💕

Monarch butterfly emerged from its chrysalis, drying his wings.

Bringing my caterpillars and chrysalis to work is so fun. I get to share the experience with my customers and educate them. It becomes so memorable for them that they talk about it every time we see each other again.🦋🐛 #monarchbutterfly #savethemonarchs #nature

Monarch chrysalis are so beautiful, they look like a jade charm with gold accents. 😍
