The class let me know that it was ok to release "George" this weekend. I cannot ethically keep him for much longer. We adopted one of Mrs. Matheson's butterflies and were hoping to release her today, but it was too rainy to do so. Again, I do not feel right keeping it for much longer; therefore, I will release her this weekend when/if there is a break in the weather.
DJ is getting bigger and bigger. I had to take him home this weekend, as I ran out of milkweed and couldn't leave him there to starve. So I carted a caterpillar and 3 butterflies home in the car to Barrhaven this weekend!
We are hoping all our pupas will emerge by next Friday. We will have 7, including "Larry" and DJ should be our last pupa, as he's still in his latter stages of the 3rd instar.
It will be exciting in the class next week.
