Below is a copied portion from Mr. Little's website...it sounds as if there was a change in plans for the releasing of the butterflies. We too have decided to wait. we will offer sugar water on a sponge and release our butterfly early next week when the weather is warmer and a frost isn't planned! He seems to still be warming up and is not very active yet...so we will wait as well! :-(

Butterfly Release
The monarch larvae seem to be developing quite slowly due to the cool evenings... I am afraid that they are not going to be ready for a Saturday, September 26 tagging/release. Watch for a posting Saturday AM if this changes. It will be rescheduled if we aren't able to release this weekend, probably for Sunday, October 4th.We WILL be conducting a tag/release at the Cayuga Nature Center butterfly house on SUNDAY September 27th at 2:00 PM. Check out their website for details... http://www.cayuganaturecenter.org/.
