I wanted to place my order for monarch butterfly larvae, so I googled “Monarch butterfly larvae kit,” which, if you are interested, IS one of the few google searches that doesn’t result in porn.
On the way to my order, though, I found a message board, and someone suggested that perhaps they could raise their larvae at work. I briefly considered that, but I realized people would come by entirely too often, checking on the larvae and interrupting my work.
Then a butterfly expert suggested to someone else that instead of letting the butterflies free into the wild, she let the butterflies run free in her house, away from predators. “Huh,” I thought, “I don’t think the dogs would go after the butterflies. You’d just have to wait until they stopped leaking color. That would be kind of pretty and peaceful. Let me see what Gary thinks.”
Gary thinks, “It puts the lotion in the basket.” Creepy.

What would they eat and where would they poop?Butterflies are ok, but I am not sure I would want winged worms as housepets. Plus Tessa would eat them as she sees them as frenchfries with wings.
I was just going to post the same thing that Zayrina did. Well, the eating and pooping part, anyway.
Melissa / Zayrina – Snort. The dog isn’t housebroken; do you think I’d care about the butterflies?
Ok, but what will they eat? Do you have wildflowers growing in your house?
Meilissa – At the butterfly farm they set out lemon slices for them, and I found they love the canned Mandarin orange sections.
I had the exact same thought as Gary. I heart him.
Candy – yeah, well if you lived with him you might not heart him as much.
