The New butterfly house that I bought last fall on sale.
The house measures 7 - foot by 8 - foot.
I found 5 caterpillars on my fennel and parsley plants that I grew for them as their host plant.

My adventure in saving the monarch butterflies for the first time ever, in northern New Jersey. I planted tropical milkweed the year before and the seed pod busted open so I had hundreds fo baby milkweeds.
I only found out this year that the female likes to lay her eggs on young seedling so the caterpillar has a soft leaf to eat. I stopped counting when I reached 170 butterflies that I released.
