29 Butterflies and 9 Inches of Rain

What happens when you pair a thunderstorm lasting all day and into the next morning producing around 9 inches of rain with 29 #MonarchButterfly emerging?
An impromptu aviary.

That's what happened yesterday.  So we cut an overgrown asparagus and tied it to the shower rod with netting across the front of the tub then we relocated the #MonarchButterfly from the habitats onto the asparagus.

Then today after it finally stopped raining we relocated them to a box and carried them outside where we released them to fly away.  Along with the 24 #MonarchButterfly that emerged today.

Wherr does that leave us? 151 butterflies released, a bunch of chrysalis and a few caterpillars.
