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!

UNRAVELLING OF CHEATING SPOUSE BY GEARHEAD ENGINEERS.
I stumbled upon Gearhead Engineers during a difficult phase of my life, a time when I became suspicious of my ex-husband. His newfound habits of coming home late, speaking secretively, and being always on his phone had me questioning the very essence of our marriage.
It was then, in the time of my desperation, that a colleague recommended Gearhead Engineers. She spoke of them with a reverence and I was convinced to give them a try. With fear, I reached out to Gearhead Engineers, my heart torn between hope and skepticism. Little did I know, I was about to embark on an encounter that would not only confirm my darkest fears but also restore my faith in the power of technology and human intuition.
They showed better understanding from the onset. From the moment I shared my story, they professionalism that had been lacking in my previous encounters was evident.
They explained their methods with a patience and clarity that kept my nerves at ease. Their expertise was noticeable as they described the art of planting spywares and the process of hacking devices to extract the very essence of one’s private interactions. They assured me that no piece of information would be left out in their quest to uncover the truth about my ex-husband’s infidelity. Gearhead Engineers tracked his every maneuver, tracing his digital footprints. They managed to intercept calls and messages, spying into his emails, and even pinpoint the exact moments he had been booking hotel rooms with my close friend. It was a masterclass and the gamble paid off.
The evidence they gathered was as unbelievable as it was heartbreaking. I watched the unraveling of a friendship that had once meant the world to me. But amidst the pain, there was a strange sense of relief. The uncertainty that had me derailed was replaced with cold, hard facts, leaving no room for doubt or denial. Their service was swift, efficient and above all discreet. In the end, I had enough proof of the betrayal that had been festering.
You can reach out to them via email at gearhead@engineer.com or via whatsapp at +1(647) 477 2506.
