My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Raising Monarch larvae

12 years ago

I have 6, 1" Monarch larvae on my milkweed, I want to try a nursery. Selfishly...I want to see them transform. Unselfishly, I want them to survive. Birds, lizzards, I read all the great info, my question...How many could I raise in a 10 gallon glass terrarium? Thanks for any help, I am a novice!
