Is this a monarch?
13 years ago
I found this guy in the middle of the sidewalk walking home today(almost stepped on him) and brought him home with me. I have him in a pickle jar now with some sticks and wood chips and a paper towel w/rubber band for a top.
He looks like a monarch to me, and If he is I already found a place that carries milkweed plants, but I just wanted to confirm. Thanks!
