The last monarch butterfly hatched from its chrysalis and Loring took it outside to let it go. The butterfly took a long time to warm up so she was able to really study it… and she did. Beautiful creatures. They’ve really touched our lives.

Did you know that fabric softeners cause a halo that butterflies (and other insects) can see? They won’t come near you. I wonder if it works for mosquitos.
Loring studying her mariposa. She calls herself "sleeping Loring" in this outfit. Her own design.
Loring's prince is always around. It's a daily thing for her to go find him.
We’re going on a hunt in our yard tomorrow to find some more caterpillars to start our cycle of life container again. We’re hoping to find a swallowtail.
Come grow with us!
