Still looks like the spots are visible. Jeanne Ooops, actually I can see the whole bottom wing, but from the underside, not from the top. Still looks like the spots are visible.

I think, though, it may have been a boy. I can't see it's bottom/lower wings fully, but males have a black spot in the middle of each of their lower wings along one of the veins. These spots are pheremones that only the males have. I think I can see the spots from the pics, but I'm not positive as I can't see the whole wing. Have fun hatching those monarchs!

When I raised butterflies with my kids, my son accidentally stepped on one during our release celebration. It was a tragedy and he was so sad ... Glad to see a happy "momma" letting go of her butterfly. Great pictures! When I raised butterflies with my kids, my son accidentally stepped on one during our release celebration.
