July’s ending finds all of my Monarch chrysalis casings empty. The joy of raising and releasing Monarch Butterflies is not finished for this year, however, for the process begins anew . . . with more eggs and small caterpillars to care for.
It has been a fabulous Monarch butterfly season here at Flower Hill Farm. I hope you enjoy a few glimpses into the magical metamorphosis. There will be more to come later on.
