Description:
I used the kit from Forever Joy called Home Sweet Home.
The lyrics are from a song by a band called Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.

I can't believe the month went by so fast.
I'm so grateful for this place we call our second home, the Lilypad.

      @ajm first thing, I plant a lot of Butterfly weed in my yard and every day I check for an itty bitty pearl on the bottom of a leaf. If I find one, I cut that whole branch off and bring it inside and put the bottom of the branch in water. I cover the water with aluminum foil. I keep adding more Butterfly weed leaves for the newly emerged caterpillar to eat. 5 Steps to Rearing Monarchs at Home - Save Our Monarchs Monarchs are voracious eaters!
      Or I also buy baby caterpillars at Insect Lore I wait for a sale, buy one get one free. I've got the enclosure and everything I need to raise them. I use the same enclosure for the monarchs too. Thank you. How to Grow and Care for Butterfly Weed (thespruce.com) I save seeds from one season to the next.

      @Claire Grantham Thank you, yes, I've raised Monarchs and Painted Lady butterflies. I had 2 Monarchs last summer and at least a dozen Painted Ladies.
