Milkweed and the Monarch - Creating the Ultimate Butterfly Habitat
Milkweed and the Monarch’s
The iconic black and orange Monarch butterfly is probably the most familiar butterfly across all North/South America; the monarch is considered an iconic pollinator, and of course, we can’t forget about the pure beauty that these butterflies bring into our lives. Well, the good news is that we don’t need to go chasing butterflies because adding certain plants in your garden will definitely attract these beautiful creatures right to you – we offer everything you need to create the perfect butterfly habitat here at Ricardo’s Nursery in Long Beach!
The Monarch caterpillar has only ONE food source – the milkweed plant. Unlike the sound of its name, it is not a weed. It’s a beautiful and colorful spray of orange, yellow, red, and white flowers. Milkweed contains a toxin in their milky sap that the Monarch caterpillar consumes as it munches through the leaves. On average, the hungry caterpillars will consume 20+ leaves from the milkweed plant before they begin metamorphosis (the process of changing from caterpillar to butterfly). A predator that does decide to eat a Monarch will likely never do that
again after eating their toxin filled body.
As a perennial, the Milkweed plant will come back every year, even through harsh winter conditions. Milkweed is typically the preferred host plant for the monarch butterfly. However, after becoming a butterfly, the monarch has a much more varied diet. It starts out extracting the nectar from the milkweed flowers, but butterflies consume nectar from many different plants including annuals or perennials like: coneflowers, impatiens, marigolds, sunflowers, or chrysanthemums, daisies, sedum and yarrow. Wildflowers like bergamots or horsemints, black-eyed Susan, blazing stars, and butterfly flower are all great!
Adult monarch butterflies even like to feed from fruits like banana, oranges and watermelon. However, the milkweed plant is the only plant that the Monarch butterflies will lay their eggs as they migrate across North and South America waiting for the next generation of Monarchs to take their place. The milkweed plant provides all the nourishment to transform the Monarch caterpillar into the adult butterfly. But these plants are rapidly disappearing, due to the loss of habitat stemming from land development and the widespread spraying of weed killer on the fields where they live. So, let’s work together to save the butterfly habitat – It’s easy to grow your own Milkweed!

I lost all of my savings investing in cryptocurrencies, which completely shocked me. I never thought it would turn out to be a fraud and that I would lose everything. Before I realised I had been duped, it had been going on for weeks. Fortunately for me, I came across a post on a bulletin about
Pro Wizard Gilbert Recovery just when all hope had vanished and I was about to go bankrupt. The speed with which they located the fraudsters and retrieved my cryptocurrency funds astounded me. They provided excellent service, and I heartily thank them for it. I suggest anyone who wants to immediately recover monies to contact them. You should reach out to them by: using: prowizardgilbertrecovery(@)engineer.com & Telegram username: @Pro_Wizard_Gilbert_Recovery

Consult A Licensed Crypto Recovery Experts//Lost Recovery Masters
I was absolutely impressed with LOST RECOVERY MASTERS service’s high professionalism and hacking prowess. They successfully recovered my lost password after a few hours of deploying their equipment to allow BIP38 decryption of the private key for Dodge I’d held since 2019. There is obviously a high level of trust involved in handing over keys and possible passwords but carrying out my due diligence with reviews and one recommendation from someone I already knew, gave me the confidence I needed. The Doge was worth 100’s of thousands of dollars and he deducted the agreed commission and assisted me with getting it safely to my exchange. I’ve since monetized the coin so it’s real. Mightily impressed and grateful for his service after somewhat giving up on thinking I would never realize the substantial theoretical gain. I gave Recovery Masters as many seeds of various passwords I had been using around that era and as much information I could help and that greatly assisted the task. Their tech skills and equipment were just what were needed for the job and wish them all the success with lots more enquiries. You can learn more on their Website https://lostrecoverymasters.com/ also contact them through their email which is: (Support@lostrecoverymasters.com) or WhatsApp: +1(204)819-5505.

I recently came across an Ad concerning a Recovery Expert that specializes in recovering lost Btc/Crypto for Victims that have been scammed. Early last month I lost $110,866.43 in usdt from my crypto.com and Coinbase account to a fake trading investment site. Did some binary options trade and made a balance of $197,310 but since it was a fake site none of this winning was real. Luckily the Expert Captain WebGenesis came to my rescue and was able to recover my funds back. I explained my issue to the Specialist and Captain WebGenesis worked tirelessly and in a span of 48hrs the Expert recovered the funds back to my wallet. His services are highly professional and I will forever be grateful to the Expert.
