Weekend set-up

   The larva arrived from Monarch Watch in their special delivery box complete with cooler bag late last Friday. (Thanks again, Milford Schools Foundation!) Ms. Rapp and I elevated the milkweed (yep! that gooey green stuff) feeder cups with popsicle sticks so that the teeny larva could breathe until they were moved to their new habitats.

   Then, followed the"great disinfection". Each habitat had to be disinfected chemically and air dried. Look at all of those cool habitats-constructed from Glad ware, screen, and a glue gun. Yes, those are sample cups that will be used to hold the milkweed! Gotta love a cheap and easy set up :)

   Look at how little the larva are...can you find them (2)?
