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!

When my family and I invested in what seemed to be a sophisticated crypto trading app we were filled with hope and anticipation. The platform looked professional and the testimonials were convincing. Everything about it made us believe we had made a wise decision. For a short while the app even showed what looked like extraordinary profits and our confidence grew. Then the illusion collapsed. The website disappeared overnight. The so-called support team went silent. Our accounts were suddenly inaccessible. In one devastating instant 30,000 dollars of our family’s savings was gone. The loss was crushing. It was not only about the money but about trust, guilt, and the heavy feeling of betrayal. The days that followed were filled with anguish. I lay awake at night replaying every choice and blaming myself. The despair was suffocating and the sense of helplessness unbearable. In my desperate search for hope I found CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY. They were transparent and patient. They set clear expectations and explained their process with honesty. For the first time since the scam I felt a spark of hope. When I gave them the chance to help I expected little. Instead I found professionalism of the highest level. They kept me updated at every stage and explained blockchain tracing in terms I could follow. Their expertise and dedication were clear. Then came the moment I thought would never come. They recovered 22,000 dollars of our stolen funds. The relief was overwhelming. I cried not only because of the money returned but because the heavy weight of guilt and despair finally lifted. We did not get everything back but what we regained changed everything. It gave us stability and restored our hope. I will always be grateful to CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY. They did more than recover money. They restored our peace of mind and gave us the strength to move forward. If you have been scammed and believe all is lost please know there is still hope. CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY truly made a difference for us.

Contact Intel Fox Recovery Service to recover your Funds.
For months, I have been diving deep into the world of cryptocurrency, excited by the opportunities and promises of financial freedom. Like many others, I have heard of people making life changing gains overnight and I wanted my share of the success. Unfortunately, in my eagerness, I fell victim to a well disguised scam that drained my ETH holdings. It began when I stumbled upon an investment platform that seemed too good to be true but, in my greed, and hope, I ignored the warning signs. The website had polished testimonials, a smooth interface, and a community that appeared legitimate. I transferred a significant amount of Ethereum, expecting high returns in a matter of weeks. Days turned into weeks, then months, and soon I realized I had been scammed and that is how I was devastated. That money was not just a financial asset, it was my hard-earned savings, my dreams of financial security. I reached out to the so-called support team of the platform, but my emails went unanswered and the website eventually vanished. I was left with nothing but regrets. Just when I was about to give up, a friend told me about intelfoxrecovery AT mail DOT com services, a specialized asset recovery support team that have helped victims like me retrieve lost funds from fraudulent schemes. Skeptical though desperate, I decided to reach out. Their response was swift and professional. They assured me that while many scams are sophisticated, their team had the expertise to trace and recover stolen digital asset. One day, I woke up to an email notification that your funds have been successfully recovered. I logged into my crypto wallet and there it was my ETH, safely returned. I honestly could hardly believe it. For anyone who has lost money in crypto scams, I say that there is still hope. Intel Fox Recovery Services have proved that with the right team, justice can prevail.

When I first encountered what seemed like a golden opportunity to grow my Ethereum investment, I was convinced I had found the right partners. The so-called investors had convincing platforms, smooth communication, and promises of unbelievable returns. Trusting them, I put in my Ethereum coins only to discover too late that it was all a scam. My wallet was drained, and my heart sank.I felt betrayed, devastated, and powerless.Then I found Washington Recovery Pro. At first, I was skeptical, but their approach was different, calm, transparent, and deeply professional. They explained the process of blockchain tracing, mapping every movement of my stolen Ethereum. With patience and persistence, they pursued the scammers’ transactions across multiple wallets and exchanges.Weeks later, I received the news I thought I’d never hear: my Ethereum coins had been successfully recovered. Seeing them restored in my wallet was a moment of relief and gratitude I cannot fully describe.Washington Recovery Pro didn’t just recover my funds they restored my hope and trust after such a painful experience.Don’t hesitate to visit their handles for similar issues…
