So now are we not only a home to 2 dogs, 6 chickens, a house cat, ( and also currently feeding a stray and her kittens) we are now also home to two monarch butterflies. My son and husband recently spied two caterpillars which they claim they rescued. We then had the joy of watching these caterpillars spin a cocoon and eventually hatch to, two beautiful monarchs. From what I understand they usually fly south for the winter, but its now to cold and they would never survive the journey. So now my husband and son have taken them under their wing (pardon the pun) and have become caregivers feeding them nectar and what ever else they need.
