Not sure if can be considered hand crafted, but I put a huge amount of work raising >140 Monarch caterpillars to chrysales.
Here's the first butterfly of the batch:

It is an "other thing of beauty." Well done. Have they suffered a decline in numbers? Or is my memory just failing me?

Their numbers have plummeted for a variety of reasons, including pesticide use, habitat destruction (Milkweed namely) and climate change

you saved me some typing

Whether or not it "belongs" here, thanks for posting and kudos to you for butterfly ranching.

Thanx🙂
I was hesitant because the last time I posted I was sharply told that it was irrelevant to the site😟
Some people are just busybodies. I'm glad there are still plenty of appreciative kind people to offset those nudniks out there.
Here's a picture of a "wannabe".
Can you tell the difference?

@Leafhead I can not. In the spring I delay mowing my yard until it looks like Code Inforcement will tell me too. I have a lot of blooming wild flowers and usually two or three Monarchs will visit.

@Pen-n-Ink the "wannabe" is a Viceroy, a mimic of the Monarch. It can be distinguished by the black bar that runs across each hind wing.
The Monarch lacks these

@Leafhead I had no idea. I will be looking for that in the future!

@Leafhead I "own" the group. your postings are quite appropriate and keep them up. ANybody gets on their case tell them I will call their mom
