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!

It all started with a simple error; I mistakenly made some settings on my phone, which affected my phone’s operational settings. No big deal, I thought. I’ve done this before. But this time was different. I noticed a change on my device; many apps weren’t working, mainly my crypto wallet—it held my crypto wallet, which contained $512,000 worth of Bitcoin. When I realized what I’d done, I froze, then panicked. No backups. No seed phrase written down. Nothing. I tried to stay calm, but every second that passed felt like a countdown to permanent loss. I spent hours online, reading recovery guides, downloading data recovery tools, and more. While scrolling through a late-night tech forum, I saw a thread about crypto investment and forex trading scam victims and how they managed to get restitution. Someone mentioned a crypto recovery specialist called META TECH RECOVERY PRO, known for handling complex wallet recoveries and also recovering funds lost to scams. I was skeptical, the internet is wide and wild, you never know who is on the other side of the screen, for me to just easily release my wallet information to.
I reached out to META TECH RECOVERY PRO out of desperation because what do I have else to lose? I was never expecting a swift engagement; their response was quick and professional. Their confidence, reviews, and composure made me believe they are worthy of handling my task. They were transparent, knowledgeable, and honest. That was more than I’d gotten from any recovery software I have been downloading for weeks, and paying for passkeys. They laid out their working terms, which were straightforward, and their price was fair. It was a back-and-forth phase with META TECH RECOVERY PRO during the recovery of my lost Bitcoin Wallet. META TECH RECOVERY PRO was able to recover my Bitcoin wallet seed phrase. My wallet was safe. The funds were untouched, and that’s when I concluded that you can never find any reliable recovery professional on Google besides META TECH RECOVERY PRO. That experience taught me more than I ever wanted to know about digital security and about how fragile digital assets can be without proper backup. But it also reminded me that even in the worst situations, there’s still hope if you know where to look, and as for me, META TECH RECOVERY PRO was my ray of light.
If you ever find yourself in that kind of nightmare, don’t forget to contact,

TikTok has emerged as a vibrant platform for creativity and connection, yet it also conceals a more sinister side, one that I, Harold, regrettably encountered firsthand. During a seemingly innocuous livestream, a convincing impersonator of former President Donald Trump promised viewers an extraordinary opportunity: send Bitcoin to a specific address, and he would double their investment. The allure of such an enticing offer, especially from a high-profile figure, was difficult to resist. As a retired educator, I had devoted considerable time to understanding Bitcoin and the intricacies of the cryptocurrency market. I prided myself on being cautious and well-informed, but the polished presentation and the charismatic delivery of the fake Trump caused me to lower my guard. I thought, “What if this is genuine?” In a moment of weakness, I made the fateful decision to send 8 Bitcoin valued at approximately $320,000 at the time to the address provided. The instant I hit send, a wave of trepidation washed over me. Panic set in as I realized I had fallen victim to a scam. The exhilaration I felt moments before transformed into disbelief and regret. How could I have been so naïve? I felt a tumult of anger and despair, questioning my judgment and the countless hours I had invested in comprehending cryptocurrency. I reached out to CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY, a firm specializing in cryptocurrency recovery. CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY meticulously analyzed the transaction and informed me that it was unshuffled, meaning it could be traced back to the original source. This revelation provided a glimmer of hope in an otherwise disheartening situation. CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY worked diligently to track the transaction and identify the wallet associated with the scam. Their expertise in blockchain analysis was nothing short of impressive, and I felt a renewed sense of optimism as CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY navigated the complexities of the cryptocurrency realm. After what felt like an eternity, CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY successfully recovered my 8 Bitcoin, restoring my faith in the possibility of reclaiming lost assets. Scammers are becoming increasingly sophisticated, utilizing platforms like TikTok to ensnare unsuspecting victims. I now understand that if something appears too good to be true, it likely is. My story serves as a cautionary tale for others to remain informed and cautious, as the world of cryptocurrency can be both exhilarating and perilous. With the assistance of CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY, I learned that it’s imperative when you approach such opportunities you verify first before investing. CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY facilitated the recovery of my funds and also empowered me to share my ordeal to warn others about the lurking dangers of Crypto and the possibility for Recovery.
