  3. We raised about 80 monarchs from eggs this year. My kids never seem to get tired of watching their life cycle and helping release the butterflies!

Reluctantly, I have reinstated the word verification for all comments on this blog. I don't like it any more than you do, but the rate of breakthrough spam was even more annoying. Thanks for understanding.
