View 10/18/2020 Virginia Beach VA Monarchs Swamp abd Red BudI had already reported the 11 pupae when they were instars they are now chrysalis. I had 7 more turn to chrysalis since my last entry. One is super tiny. I found the other 1 instars in another milkweed plant I had outside. That I was bringing in.so the other instars would have more food.. i also brought in A healthy red bud plant and was surprised to see an instar. Tiny second stager. Finally niw also have 5 black swallow rail chrysalis. On Monday 10/11/20 I did see at the Dismal Swamp in NC a beautiful Black swallow tail butterfly. It was the ine whises wings have a blueish-lpurlpe like tint all over its wings with the other markings black swallow tails have on them. It was pretty and it was the only one I saw in the short time I was there.
View 10/14/2020 Virginia Beach VA Monarchs  Saw monarch butterfly fly high up about 29 feet coming from back yard to the front by tall maple tree. Seems more might emerge in the next few days when there are gaps of rain stopping. Seems the large oak tree with english ivy vine did give them protection. The 8 monarch larvas I reported earlier are now 4 chrysalis and anither is in the J shape at the top of screen.
View 10/14/2020 Virginia Beach VA Monarchs  When went to get a full healthy leave red bud milkweed plant that I had left overnight in my indoor courtyard from the ones I had by the huge oak tree in my backyard, That was surprised to see to large larvas and one small one on the plant. During the week when I had checked on plants there were no larvas on them!! Pu that plant indoors in the butterfly cage with other larvas.
View 10/11/2020 Virginia. Each VA Monarchs  Of the 8 Monarch larvas I reported yesterday, two are now Chrysalis. The got ti the top of their cage and attached themselves. Will monitor just in case they fall off. Also fond 3 5th instar black swallow tails at London Bridge Garden Center. Also found 3 1st stage black swallow tail instars From the 35 Instars had see on 10/08/20.
View 10/11/2020 Virginia Beach VA Monarchs  Finally got back to London Bridge Garden Center purchase plants and get the 16 larvas I had seen on 10/08/20. I was sad that there now was only 8 larvas and one 5th instar black swallow tail instar on a huge fennel plant planted next to Lantana huge bush by shed. I put them inside my house in a huge butterfly cage with plants. In separate containers Inside cage I also put a tray with dill, fennel and parsley if black tail butterflies 2 to 4 stage instars in it. We are have and are getting more rain these next few days. I did nit put the Monarch larvas outside because the last time I put them by Oak tree milkweed plants and shrubs They disappeared. I did find a hornet’s nest which I destroyed, but one got away. I kept seeing it once a fa flying over plants that had larvas. I finally found evidence at night as I was cleaning healthy full milkweed plants by Oak tree that there was Huge monarch larvas poop droppings. Which mean that they have crawled all the Way up the tree (27 yrs okd) with the English Ivy wrapped around it. Tree is very healthy Even with all the ivy on it. Tree is 70 ft by 20 ft.
