My father has been raising and releasing monarch butterflies for several years. This season we do not seem to have any butterflies laying eggs, we are not even seeing any Monarchs.  Where do I purchase monarch butterfly eggs?

If someone on this list can not help, go to:
<http://butterflybreeders.org/public/butterflies-where_to_buy.cfm>

When you click on the states it will bring up butterfly farms in the state if there are any. Not all sell monarch eggs. My business is Florida Monarch Butterfly Farm and I do not sell eggs or larva. Check the websites listed to find out if they sell eggs or larva.

Hi Jacqui,

I heard you were in the US a while back. How are things in New Zealand?

Wet and muddy, Dale.I will be pleased when the winter is over. Wish I was back in the USA. :)

I drove 7,000 km from DC through Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, then up and across to Monarch Watch, up to Chicago, across to Detroit and Canada (overnight) then down/across to Philadelphia. Lost track of all those states that I "touched" - all in three weeks. Saw some amazing conservation projects as well as so much "was once prairie/development/crops".

A great learning opportunity, partly funded by a Sir Winston Churchill Memorial Trust. Now to write my report! :)

At least THAT is something I can do indoors out of the rain and cold. :)

Hopefully spring is on its way.

Jacqui,

Good luck with the report.

I am curious though about one thing off subject.

What do the Kiwis think of our current US president?
