Monarch

[Cris Guppy & Aud Fischer]

I remember reading somewhere that Monarchs had been raised in captivity on
ordinary head lettuce. However this was right from newly hatched larvae,
that had never fed on anything else. Your larvae might not switch over. Also
my memory could be wrong, it was many years ago that I read that article.
