My career raising butterflies has come to an end. 123 butterflies - TopicsExpress



          

My career raising butterflies has come to an end. 123 butterflies successfully raised and released over the course of 6 months. I started in March with 10 store-bought Painted Lady caterpillars, progressed to 45 Black Swallowtail caterpillars found on the dill in the veggie garden, and ended today with the last of 68 Gulf Fritillary caterpillars that were on the Passion Vines. It has been a great learning experience that was aided immeasurably by the helpful members of this group. I started out knowing nothing at all and now I know enough to feel confident in raising butterflies- whenever I ever find some caterpillars again. Now to go back through my thousands of butterfly photos and make them all nice and orderly. What could be more fun than looking up and identifying a new Lepidoptera? Hmmmm- looking in the fields and woods for more!
