My grandson's pre-school teacher used one like that to raise monarchs in. You can just unzip it to add more food, and after the monarchs come out of of the pupa, they will have enough room to pump up their wings. <br /><br />And you need to look for the pupa other places than on the milkweed. The caterpillars move away to pupate.Marilyn Kircushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014565704792020948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-86488233309992555242011-07-31T14:27:12.548-05:002011-07-31T14:27:12.548-05:00Makes one wonder - just who is reading our blogs? ...Makes one wonder - just who is reading our blogs?
