Well, I came home with 4 Monarch eggs today! Two look to be about ready to hatch, probably tomorrow morning. This is becoming my little summer project. The first year, the kids were totally into it, and now I am into it even more than they! They will enjoy watching them, of course.... but it's really "my baby". So, for the next 6 weeks or so, we will have our little Monarch population growing in our aquarium, sitting on the kitchen counter. Many like to chuckle when they come to my house, because you just NEVER know what you'll find on my kitchen counter!! :) This is the migrating generation, so I plan to order tags again from Monarch Watch (www.monarchwatch.org) to tag them before we let them go. I love summer!

08:00, 2006-Aug-18 .. Posted by ShaunaI haven't been able to get a good picture of the eggs. They are just so small, and my digital camera just isn't that good... they come out blurry. However, two websites that are helpful:
www.monarchbutterflyusa.com has great photos of all the stages, including eggs and hatching
www.monarchwatch.org is the best for information.
Hope that helps!
