The Multiversal Lepidoptery Society proudly presents these fascinating specimens found across the multiverse. Special thanks to our gracious benefactor @jellyskink for allowing us the opportunity over on their discord server (Domesticated Ford Au server). I would also love this opportunity to thank the other research assistants. Without their help of them, none of this would be possible:

I still sometimes laugh about that blood soaked social worker crawling out of the horse only to find himself in the midst of wedding vows by the world’s horniest lepidopterist…
My Virgin Tiger Moth caterpillars they're so fucking big!!
They need a bigger home and I'm struggling to get the spoons to build them a bigger enclosure 💀💀
Got to get to the hardware store and get a bin, some dowels, and a bunch of leaf liter and other detrius
This is an often-debated topic, which sometimes gets heated online, and, there has been considerable scientific research into it too.
Before I wade in to this, let me first clarify an important point - what is captive-rearing? A lot of people who rear monarchs seem to confuse or conflate the terms captive-rearing with captive-breeding. These terms are sometimes also conflated in journalist pieces around monarchs too, which doesn’t help matters. Captive breeding is when captive adult monarchs are allowed to mate in captivity and lay eggs on propagated milkweed. Usually this is only done in commercial (monarch breeding) operations. Captive-rearing refers to anyone who collects wild eggs or larvae from their yards or neighborhoods, and then brings them into captivity (inside or outside) until they metamorphose into adults, and then are set free… Now, let me tell you about my survey. A few weeks ago, I sent out an email to as many scientists that I could think of that currently study, or have studied, monarchs. This amounted to a couple dozen people. I am purposely not going to provide their names here, so that these scientists would remain anonymous. But, know that each of the people I emailed has legitimate expertise on this topic. In my email I asked the group for their assistance in participating in this simple online survey, where they could answer some basic questions about rearing. I also explicitly told them that their answers would remain anonymous - I didn’t want anyone to withhold their opinions for fear of being yelled at by someone! Despite this, I still ended up with only 14 people who were willing to provide answers. And, of these 14 scientists, two of them answered “no opinion” on each question. Perhaps this says something about the controversy around this topic… But, I am confident that the people that did answer the questions were legit experts on this topic. And the fact that there were 12 experts who provided answers means that this should be taken as the “majority” opinion among researchers…
