Carol explains: “I enclose many of the monarch caterpillars in a large container covered with netting or screening to protect them from the many predators that are out there. I fill containers with fresh milkweed everyday for them to eat. When they are ready to pupate, they crawl to
the top of the container, which is wood, and make their chrysalis at the top. In approximately 10 days, the butterfly emerges. The little girl is my great-granddaughter, Leah.”
