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 remember the day clearly it felt like a punch to the gut. I had just discovered that I had fallen victim to an elaborate crypto scam. The website was polished, the investment opportunity sounded solid, and the customer service seemed legit. But within 48 hours of transferring my 3 Bitcoin worth over $180,000 at the time, the site vanished. The wallet address went cold. No response. Nothing. Panic set in. I felt helpless. That money wasn’t just an investment it was part of my savings, earmarked for a home down payment. I had done everything right or so I thought. But crypto is a wild frontier, and I had just learned that the hard way, I tried contacting my bank and even reported the scam to the local authorities, but they couldn’t do much. They didn’t have the tools, nor the expertise to trace blockchain transactions. The response was always the same Sorry, there’s nothing we can do, That’s when I stumbled upon “Dexdert Net Pro”. At first, I was skeptical. It’s hard not to be after getting scammed but something about their platform felt different. They didn’t promise miracles or fast refunds. They explained the recovery process step-by-step, laying out how crypto forensics, wallet tracing, and legal coordination could increase the chances of retrieval. More importantly, they didn’t ask for upfront payment, just a small success-based fee. I submitted all the evidence: transaction IDs, email chains, screenshots, and a detailed timeline. Their cyber-forensic team traced my Bitcoin through several mixer addresses and obfuscation layers. the trail led them to a known laundering hub a platform that had been flagged for suspicious activity by other victims too, With that data, Dexdert Net Pro initiated a coordinated takedown involving legal notices, exchange subpoenas, and blockchain monitoring tools, then one morning, I got the message: We have successfully Recovery your Bitcoin, It felt surreal. Within 1 hour, My 3 BTC was returned to a cold wallet Dexdert set up for me. Fully secured. Verified. Authenticated, I couldn’t believe my funds were back. Not only had I been saved from financial ruin, but I had regained trust in justice within the decentralized world. They restored my peace of mind. And for that, I’ll always be grateful.

It all started with an email. It looked legitimate like it came from my bank. Same logos, same tone, same formatting. But within 24 hours, I realized I had fallen victim to a sophisticated phishing scam. I watched in horror as $239,000 was drained from my investment account nearly my entire life savings. I was devastated. I contacted my bank immediately, but they told me that once the transaction was confirmed on the blockchain, it was irreversible. That’s when the panic truly set in. I filed a police report and even contacted a few cybersecurity consultants, but they all told me the same thing: there was nothing they could do. Then I found Malice Cyber Recovery. I was skeptical at first. Most people say crypto and digital fund recovery is impossible. But from the first interaction, Malice stood out. They were professional, responsive, and most importantly realistic. They didn’t make wild promises. Instead, they carefully reviewed the transaction, analyzed the addresses involved, and laid out a step-by-step plan. What impressed me most was their transparency. I was assigned a recovery agent who kept me updated regularly, explaining how they were tracking the movement of my stolen funds across wallets and exchanges. Within just over three weeks, I got the message I never thought I’d see: “We’ve recovered the funds.” And sure enough, $239,000 was safely transferred back into my secured wallet. Every dollar accounted for. Malice Cyber Recovery gave me more than just my money back they gave me peace of mind. I now have better digital security practices in place, and I owe it all to their team. If you’ve been a victim of cyber theft or crypto scams, don’t give up. I’m living proof that there’s still hope and Malice Cyber Recovery is the team to call.

Just a few months ago, I was on the verge of losing everything.Like many people trying to grow their savings, I ventured into the world of crypto. It felt exciting and promising too promising, in hindsight. I was introduced to what seemed like a lucrative investment opportunity involving USDT (Tether). The platform looked polished, the people sounded professional, and they promised incredible returns.After transferring my USDT, everything changed. My login credentials stopped working, support emails bounced back, and the person who introduced me to the investment vanished. That’s when the realization hit me like a truck: I had been scammed.These online scammers didn’t just steal my money they stole my trust, my peace of mind, and my sense of security. I was crushed. Sleepless nights followed, filled with regret and self-blame.I tried reporting it, but every time I reached out for help, I hit a wall. Then came the miracle Washington Recovery Pro.At first, I was skeptical. After what I’d been through, who wouldn’t be? But the way they approached me was different. No overblown promises. No vague assurances. Just honest professionals with a track record and a plan.What shocked me most was their determination. They cared. In a world where I felt abandoned, Washington Recovery Pro stood tall, not as a company, but as allies.And then it happened.A notification popped up on my wallet one quiet Thursday morning. my USDT was back in my account.I stared at the screen in disbelief. My hands shook. I cried.It wasn’t just about the money. It was about justice. It was about hope. It was about getting a piece of myself back.Sometimes the biggest comeback begins at your lowest point. And sometimes, all it takes is the right people fighting by your side.Washington Recovery Pro is more than just a name. To me, they’re the reason I still believe in miracles.DM via
