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!

This is to notify anyone looking to reclaim his\her bitcoin lost to reapers in binary options and FX deals. As well as to recover any lost money due to internet scams. For a successful recovery procedure, I advice you to get in touch with one who sees you with the fear and respect for God. Not all testimonies and recommendations are true and in times of you trying to solicit for assistance on recovery of lost funds, one may eventually be victimized and turned a pray.
I had my blockchain wallet spoofed by ruthless con artists, and they made off with $265.000 from it. This made me very unhappy and upset because I was in serious need of assistance. On reaching out for help, I ran into some hell made link I followed claiming to be recovery agents and was further more duped. During my online inquiry, I came across one agency I ignored but with quit appealing remarks, (Sean_recovery@cyber-wizard.com). Considering all lost, I felt no more fears after all, there was nothing more to lose, so I decided to give a try to it and to lo and behold, I was astonished by the result. I’m grateful for the hack group’s assistance in helping me recover what I lost and in identifying the trespassers as well. I can’t keep but share this information particularly to anyone else in a similar position who wants to recover lost assets.
