Who doesn’t? We’ve taken a special interest in Monarchs since two of them emerged from their chrysalises in Danica’s sewing room. We’ve planted milkweed in the backyard (Monarchs lay their eggs on no other plant) and take note of them whenever we can. There are lots of them this year on the Leslie Spit.
Here’s some more good news. A great big cloud was puzzling meteorologists when it showed up on radar over Missouri today. Yup. Butterflies… on their way to Mexico. A whole lot of them.
So Monarch butterflies are not doomed and we can help them stay healthy and gorgeous. Plant some milkweed.
Here’s a video to show you what it looks like …

Plant milkweed! What a terrific idea.
When I shop now, I’m looking for the seeds in the fruit and veg; for health.
Bees like certain plants as well.
(disease in bees has been reduced using formic acid, as in ants)
Healing earth is wise.
Great news about the Monarch populations, and happy to re-watch our very own butterfly videos.
