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!

My husband and I never imagined we’d fall victim to a cryptocurrency scam, but life has a way of testing even the most cautious among us. What began as a hopeful investment opportunity turned into a nightmare that nearly cost us our savings, our peace of mind, and in my darkest moments my will to keep fighting. Today, I share our story not just as a cautionary tale, but as a testament to the incredible work of CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY, the team that gave us a second chance. Several weeks ago, we decided to invest $255,500 in a cryptocurrency exchange platform after being promised exponential returns. Initially, everything seemed legitimate. The platform’s representatives were persuasive, and their promises aligned with stories we’d heard of others thriving in the crypto space. However, when my husband fell seriously ill and could no longer work, we realized we needed to withdraw our funds to cover medical expenses and daily needs. That’s when the nightmare began. The platform refused to process our withdrawal unless we paid an additional 15% fee, a demand that felt both absurd and predatory. Panic set in as we realized we’d been trapped in a scam. I spiraled into despair, grappling with guilt over the loss of our life savings and the toll it took on my husband’s health. I felt utterly hopeless until a Facebook post about CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY caught my eye. Skeptical but desperate, I researched the team extensively. Their website, client testimonials, and transparent process stood out. They specialized in recovering funds from fraudulent crypto schemes, and their track record gave me a flicker of hope. I reached out via their official contact form and provided details of our case. The team responded swiftly, demonstrating professionalism and empathy from the start. They explained the recovery process in clear terms, assuring us they’d pursue every avenue to reclaim our funds. True to their word, CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY utilized cutting-edge tools and legal expertise to trace and recover our stolen Bitcoin. Within days, they provided updates that reignited our optimism and within weeks, they succeeded in retrieving the full $255,500.Words cannot express the relief we felt. This wasn’t just about the money; it was about reclaiming control of our lives. My husband’s health has since improved, and we’re rebuilding with renewed gratitude and caution.
