EOL: Learning and Education Group. Monarch Watch : Rearing Monarchs : Ideas for Cages. Monarch larvae can be reared in many different types of containers.
They can be started (but not finished) in plastic petri dishes, or reared in aquaria, glass jars, etc. The trick is usually keeping the food fresh, the container clean and the humidity and crowding low. An easy method, which requires less daily care, is to place the larvae on entire milkweed plants in pots or whose cut stems are placed in water. These plants are then either placed in screened cages or covered with mesh paint strainers and tied around the base. There are many ways to make simple cages. A similar method can be used to rear Monarchs outdoors on living plants. Emergence Cages When the adult butterfly emerges, it must be able to hang and expand its wings.

Butterflies are beautiful, flying insects with large scaly wings.
Like all insects, they have six jointed legs, 3 body parts, a pair of antennae, compound eyes, and an exoskeleton. The three body parts are the head, thorax (the chest), and abdomen (the tail end). The butterfly's body is covered by tiny sensory hairs. The four wings and the six legs of the butterfly are attached to the thorax. The thorax contains the muscles that make the legs and wings move.
