Hi Mike, thanks so much for dropping by....my friend has been nursing Monarch butterflies all the stages(from eggs to adults) in the back porch 'cos about half of them die in the backyard before become adults. the caterpillar often dies while forming its chrysalis.. they have a very special life cycle.
