And so little time to do it in! I've been gone for a few days, but made time to take a few laps around the habitat (we're just going to call it the Hab from here on out; thanks, Matt Damon!) this evening.
A Buckeye, a couple Tigers, and a couple "miscellaneous darks" were the only fliers this evening, and one lonely Monarch male. Oh, and one Snowberry Clearwing. I really need to get busy on making myself a quick-reference section to help determine what I'm looking at when it comes to the "miscellaneous darks"! I'm really wondering if I've been seeing Black Swallowtails and misidentifying them as Spicebush Swallowtails or dark morph Tigers. I'll try to work on that this week!
I'd also like to get to work on another section of this site to document our Monarch-raising efforts. It's such a fascinating hobby, and so informative; not to mention fun and relatively easy!
So basically, this post is just to try and motivate myself :). I'm going to make it my goal to get those things done this week!
Rearing container update: Right now, our rearing container contains 4 BST chrisalids, 6 Monarch chrisalids, and 3 Monarch cats. Sure would like to have more, but we'll take what we can get!!
