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 never thought I would become a victim because I never believed something like this could happen to me. But unfortunately, two months ago, I was blindsided by a binary options scam that cost me $200,000.I was promised generous returns on my capital, and at first, everything seemed to be going well. The platform seemed legit, and the returns were promising at first, but when I tried to withdraw my funds, they strung me along with excuses. After some research, I found Recovery Firms on Reddit,but amidst the posts, I found several mentions of a company WEB GENIE RECOVERY FIRM. and despite initial skepticism, I reached out. Their team was professional and reassuring, guiding me through the recovery process.They took the time to explain the recovery process in detail, from gathering all necessary documentation to filing a formal claim. They reassured me that they had successfully helped others in situations like mine, and I felt a sense of hope for the first time in weeks.

I lost $385,000 to a Telegram Pig Butchering scam. A trader named Jane, lured me into AscentPrime, a fake crypto platform showing massive, but illusory, profits. When I tried to withdraw, the account froze, demanding a large tax. My life savings were funneled into an offshore mixer. Law enforcement offered no help. Desperate, I found Alpha Spy Nest (ASN). They didn’t promise miracles; they promised forensics. ASN’s team meticulously traced the funds, using proprietary graph analysis to follow the transaction shards through complex cross-chain bridges and a notorious crypto mixer. They pinpointed the consolidated funds just hours before the criminals’ scheduled withdrawal from an unregulated exchange. ASN used this evidence to apply massive legal and technical pressure on the exchange’s directors, threatening public exposure and sanctions. The exchange caved, executing an emergency freeze and clawback. Within 48 hours, $374,700 of my principal was back in my secure wallet. ASN turned a hopeless digital graveyard into a successful financial interdiction. They are the ghost hunters of the blockchain. If you find yourself in the same situation, you can also reach out to Alpha Spy Nest(ASN) for help via: whatsapp: +15132924878, email: alphaspynest@mail.com, website: www.alphaspynest.org
