I was helping my grandson look for monarch caterpillar eggs and caterpillars. His excitement for raising these was contagious. I had to have a few to foster until they were ready to become butterflies and head out on their own. I started with 2 eggs and one small caterpillar. We found a really large one that my grandson took home with him and named Chris. Chris went through all of the stages and has been released as a beautiful male monarch butterfly. These have grown up and are now in the chrysalis stage. Grow some milkweed, start a butterfly garden, or begin fostering these interesting creatures.
