I’m coming to the end of raising Monarchs (105 so far) in a Butterfly house and netted enclosures.Today I have one emerged but the casing hasn’t come off the right wing and she’s struggling….any ideas everyone?

mist the wing with water and very gently try to release it from the chrysalis. You might need to mist it several times.
