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!

Hello Everyone,
My name is Juliet Harald, and I’m from New Hampshire, I lost access to my crypto wallet when I mistakenly deleted the Seed Phrase to my wallet, and I couldn’t access my crypto wallet for weeks. It all became weird when I started getting emails of funds being transferred out of my crypto wallet. I saw $650K withdrawn from my account in a day and I was devastated, it felt like my world was coming down on me. I was torn apart and was in a debt crisis until a colleague of mine told me about Morphohack Cyber Service, a data and crypto wallet recovery service. I sent an email to (Morphohack@cyberservices.com) and the team responded immediately, providing me with support and assistance. I couldn’t believe it when Morphohack Cyber Service was able to trace and retrieve my crypto wallet, tracing all the funds that were withdrawn from my wallet, I’m hugely grateful for the services of Morphohack Cyber Service in helping me get back my crypto wallet and crypto funds. Their services were amazing and professional.

“I’m Charles Darwin by name and i’m writing to share my incredible experience with a professional crypto recovery service know as SPYHOST CYBER SECURITY COMPANY . In 2020, I invested a significant amount of money in a cryptocurrency wallet worth more than 3 million united states dollars in todays market value, but unfortunately, I lost my seed phrase. I had written it down on one piece of paper and stored it in a safe, but somehow it got misplaced.
I was devastated and felt helpless. I had tried to contact the wallet’s support team, but they were unable to assist me in recovering my funds without the seed phrase. I had also tried to use various online tools and software to recover my seed phrase, but none of them worked.
That’s when I stumbled upon a professional crypto recovery service. I was skeptical at first, but after reading reviews and testimonials from other satisfied customers, I decided to give it a try.
The recovery process was surprisingly efficient and effective. The team at the recovery service was highly professional and communicative, keeping me updated every step of the way. They used advanced techniques and tools to try and recover my seed phrase, including brainwallet recovery as they used specialized software to try and recover my seed phrase from my brainwallet and they also made use of wallet reconstruction as they reconstructed my wallet from scratch, using advanced forensic techniques to recover my private keys. Within a few weeks, I received an email from the recovery service stating that they had successfully recovered my seed phrase. I was overjoyed and couldn’t believe that I had gotten my funds back.
The recovery service also provided me with a detailed report of the recovery process, including the steps they took to recover my seed phrase. I was impressed by their expertise and professionalism throughout the entire process.
I would highly recommend this crypto recovery service to anyone who has lost their seed phrase or has lost access to their crypto funds. They are truly experts in their field, and their services are worth every penny. Kindly contact them through any of the following means

Hello, Please everyone should be careful and stop being deceived by all these brokers and account managers, they scammed me over $265,000 of my investment capital, and they kept on requesting extra funds before a withdrawal request can be accepted and processed, in the end, I lost all my money. All efforts to reach out to their customer support desk had declined, and I found it very hard to move on. God so kind I followed a broadcast that teaches how scammed victims can recover their funds, I contacted a recovery company known as SPYHOST CYBER SECURITY COMPANY . They are such a very good company as they are so reliable, transparent, skilled and responsive. I contacted them and I got feedback after some hours as I was asked to provide all legal details concerning my investment, I did exactly what they instructed me to do without delay, to my greatest surprise I was able to recover 80% of my money back. I said I will not hold this to myself but share it with the public so that all scammed victims can get their funds back. Anyways, just incase you are going through such plight, do not hesitate to reach them via;
