Duchess of Umbrage<p>DAY 18: Haven’t posted a monarch update in a week because not much was changing with my brood, and I lost hope that any of the babbies were gonna hatch. However, I did see a possible glimmer of life from #4 today. It’s changing color in a different way and has a different topography than the other three. Am I delusional or can I see a faint hint of a monarch wing through the case? <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/butterflies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>butterflies</span></a></p>
