    I enjoyed watching this video. I’ve been raising monarch butterflies for several years. It always amazes me to see this beautiful creature emerge from its chrysalis. I talk about the Monarch butterflies into the garden group, which I belong to in northeastern, Pennsylvania. I urge our members to plant native milkweed and n their gardens where it will not be disturbed but monitored.
    I found this year was not a good year for Monarchs.

    I remember once when I was younger I had a little habitat and a kit to grow 5 caterpillars (I don't remember what species). The caterpillars came in a jar with breathing holes on the top and caterpillar food on the bottom. Four got up to the top of the jar and cocooned while the last one died somehow. I took the pad with the cocoons out of the jar and into the habitat. Like over a week later, only three of them had emerged, the last one had turned black and never emerged, so that one failed. But as if that wasn't enough, one the three sole survivors had misshapen wings. Later that day I repeatedly threw the butterflies into the air to release them, after a while both of the perfect ones managed to fly away, as for the poor one with misshapen wings, I placed it on a plant in a field and let it be free that way, I tested the little one but of course it couldn't fly because of its misshapen wings.
    Many years before that I was visiting my grandmother and grandfather with my family and they had some wooden wind chimes laying on the floor of their garden and I saw a cocoon stuck to one of the tubes. I gently peeled it off and we took it back home with us. A long while later (from what I can remember) my mother and I walked into the kitchen and found the cocoon transparent and empty. We looked at the window and saw a cabbage white butterfly on it, on the inside so it obviously came from the cocoon I found. My mother caught it and then released it out in the garden where it flew away to freedom.

      I believe they are! I’ll try to find the study, but there was an experiment where caterpillars were exposed to a neutral stimulus then a negative stimulus over and over under they began to expect the negative stimulus after being exposed to the neutral stimulus.
      Once the caterpillars had become butterflies, they were again exposed to the neutral stimulus, and they reacted as though they were expecting the negative stimulus to follow.

    • @JeffersonLab
      @JeffersonLab  5 лет назад +4

      The thing that fooled me at first with them is that they wander off when it's time for them to pupate. You'll see a bunch of big caterpillars on the plants one day and they'll all be gone the next. It makes sense from an evolutionary standpoint once you realize that it's probably not a great idea to sit idle for a week or so on a plant that's still food for your brothers and sisters. You're less likely to have your resting place eaten from out under you if you go somewhere else to pupate.

    I think the top three are girls and the bottom one is a boy. Is that right?

      @@JeffersonLab From what I see, the veins of the top 3 butterflies are about the same thickness and I don't see the scent gland of the top left butterfly either....looks like I still don't have the hang of it :(.

      You can only tell that the thickness of the veins are different when the wings are open. Since the other three have their wings closed, you have too look for the 'smudge' that's pointed out earlier in the video.
