EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[Fire Ant Farm]

Golly - I get a bad multi-day migraine, have a few catch up days at work, and here I am 1500+ posts behind. I'm so bad at keeping up here.

The Monarch butterflies are on the way through on their migration, and they were swarming around the viburnum in front of my house. So fun!

Oh, and I was looking in my butterfly book - you remember that caterpillar that looked like bird poop that I fed to my chickens? It's the larval form of the giant swallowtail.

I'm going to do a read back. BRB.

Beautiful! I would love to see a monarch swarm! Around here, they are becoming harder and harder to find

Quote: They're late this year (we've had weird late hot weather and higher winds that have held them up). See this website, so interesting...

There were a lot of efforts this year to plant and distribute milkweed for them...

Thanks for sharing them.
