Saw a couple of tiger swallowtails and maybe 1 monarch so far. Neighbor has milkweed growing and I've checked, nothing. Going to check a big ole patch of milkweed where I hunt soon. Hoping to find some chrysalis's for our hatching tent.

Dry it out for testing winds!

I have to remember to do this .  You do mean the milkweed and not drying out the butterfly correct

I have never tried butterflies, but what the heck .... great idea TF, hard to miss a monarch flying in the wind - just be sure it is very windy

The milkweed really works well even for subtle current like thermals
