monarchs

[Bethsull at aol.com]

I hope this works..as a post to the entire group. All the Monarchs, eggs and 
larva are in Willington CT. My sister cruises the roadsides and fields to be 
mowed...and especially Horsebarn Hill at Uconn.  She rescues eggs and larva 
and brings them home to her kitchen! Last year she personally reared over 500 
monarchs.   This year so far, she has raised tagged and released near 100. 
With hundreds more in progress.  She has found her best success with eggs and 
larva hatched and  raised indoors. Many of the larva she finds already 
hatched and living outside are affected either by disease or parasite very 
early on. She has done library and school programs for her children's classes 
and also a 4H expedition each year to introduce kids to the wonder and joy.  
She is not on the internet yet...is CBA member.   For all her tags...her goal 
is to have one reach Mexico..but feels that those from this area..as a 
generation...don't make it all the way. She had one returned from Oklahoma!  
So if you are looking for monarchs..check out Willington area!!!!
