A Year Without Monarchs...

would have been like a Christmas without Santa. Thank you to Kristina @flutterby22 and Cindy @Cindygenn for making sure I had a few Monarch caterpillars to raise to adulthood to release for their long fall migration to Mexico! This one is tiny and has several weeks to go. I will post a pic each day until he/she is set free!
