Love this! I have raised hundreds (i mean, hundreds..) of monarchs and butterflies in general and have seen some very interesting ones that are extremely rare. For an example, i have a extremely tiny monarch chrysalis hatching, and out of hundreds, its the smallest one i have ever seen!
I have been raising monarchs for years and have had to deal with things like OE and more. I mostly raise monarchs. If anyone has any questions ID, identifying gender, overcoming sickness, etc. i will be happy to answer what i know!

It’s so cool that you raise monarchs! They’re definitely one of my favorites! Lately I’ve been trying to capture some pictures of them but to no avail yet…This is the only one I’ve gotten so far this season and it’s probably the worst picture I’ve ever taken of them…

I would absolutely love to see your monarchs and the tiny monarch chrysalis!

This is from yesterday. I know nothing of butterflies, other than they are beautiful.

We have pretty dragonflies here.
