evanshaley+FollowMonarch Caterpillar Spotted—Finally!You know that feeling when your hard work finally pays off? After three years of planting native milkweed, a gardener finally spotted a rare monarch caterpillar munching away! Monarchs are disappearing fast, but rewilding your yard with native plants can help bring them back—and save you money on water and fertilizer. Plus, less yard work and more beautiful butterflies? Total win. Anyone else trying to attract pollinators? Share your garden wins! #Home #MonarchButterfly #NativePlants130Share
Patti Procell+FollowMy butterfly garden and nursery .#MonarchButterfly protecting the eggs and caterpillars from predators.So I brought them into my nursery. i now have 2 that are in the chrysalis stage, i want getting ready to get into its "J" and five more still growing. Watching metamorphosis is amazing. As soon as the butterflies emerge, I will release them to the garden, and hopefully they will lay more eggs on the milkweed.30Share
