I absolutely love when customers share special moments like this! Watching their granddaughter experience the magic of Monarch butterflies is what it's all about. These little wings bring big joy—and it's such a privilege to be a small part of that. 🦋

Have you raised Monarchs with one of my kits? If so, I’d love to see your journey! Share your photos or videos and tag me so I can celebrate the magic with you.

Want to attract butterflies? I got you! I still have plants I've grown from seed withoutt any chemicals including 4 different types of Milkweed. See photos of what the plants will look like when fully grown.

This pipevine swallowtail will be going into a chrysalis within the next 24 hours. I still have 3 chrysalises that still haven't eclosed too. I'm kinda thinking these guys, plus the 2 other cats will emerge next spring.

And I have lots of Monarch caterpillars. Too many to count. This is the first year I have lots of blondies, very light caterpillars. They seem slow growing, but one tuened into a chrysalis, so I'm waiting to see if it happens to come out albino.
