On August 31, 2015, I captured 10 Monarch Butterfly caterpillars from my personal garden and placed them into 2 plastic observation containers. I have been informed that these are 4th generation monarchs; the ones who migrate to Mexico. I felt this would give them a greater chance of survival. This blog will follow their development and eventual release.

Teenie, tiny caterpillar
As I was cutting some milkweed leaves for the remaining caterpillars, I came across this very small larva. I guess it just recently hatched. Smallest one I have ever seen.
