Thanks, Alan. I don't know that the cages are "necessary"; There are a number of eggs laid on the crown flower plants growing outdoors on the grounds. The cages prevent predators from eating the eggs and larvae, and they make it easier to ensure that each group of larvae gets an appropriate amount of fresh food. This increases the number of butterflies raised to adulthood and the number released.
