HOPE FOR THE MONARCH

in nature •  5 years ago 

I hadn't seen anything like this in years.

While out for a stroll with a good friend on Father's Day, we noticed a field full of Milkweed. To make things even better, many Monarch caterpillars were feasting on the leaves, and the next generation was growing up.

With the recent decline in pollinators in general and specifically Monarchs, it was refreshing to stumble upon such a habitat. Hopefully many more fields of Milkweed are out there and we'll be able to preserve this species for the generations to come.

Until next time…

Enjoy every minute of it!

      Monarch butterflies are wonderful things! It’s so great to see nature flourishing like this. This area looks like such a clean and perfect environment for them. A great place to forage for milkweed too - it has a bunch of uses ( being used to treat some snake bites amongst other things )

                @papa-pepper just wanted to say "Thanks" for all of your finds and your outlook. Where I started most folks still think 'Milkweed" is a horible thing. With the CRIMINALS from Monsanto, (now Bayer) creating GM seeds it is becoming harder for any polinator to survive.
