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!

We were content as a family and doing well with our salary level. My wife, a flight attendant with Fly Emirates, loved her job and the opportunities it provided us. However, everything changed when she was off from work for over a year due to an incident. The nature of her Worker’s Compensation case meant she couldn’t look for employment during that time. As a result, it didn’t take long to deplete our funds, especially with two kids to care for. During this challenging period, we found ourselves in the midst of the greatest bull run in the history of the Bitcoin market. Everywhere we turned, people were sharing their success stories of investing in Bitcoin and making substantial profits from home. The allure of quick financial gains was hard to resist, and we felt desperate to improve our situation. After careful consideration, we decided to try investing in Bitcoin ourselves.We attempted this twice, which involved using some of our valuable assets to make the necessary upfront payments. Unfortunately, both attempts ended in disappointment. The first investment seemed promising initially, but we quickly lost contact with the company and saw our investment dwindle. The second company was even more alarming; they vanished entirely and deactivated their website, leaving us feeling frustrated and betrayed. The entire experience was incredibly annoying and disheartening. After these setbacks, I reached out to a lawyer for guidance. We were advised to seek the help of a crypto recovery company, but given our recent losses, we decided against pursuing that route. I was deeply hesitant to trust anything online again. After losing money twice, it took a considerable amount of time and effort for me to even consider a recovery option. Eventually, my wife and I discussed it further. With her eventual agreement, we pushed hard to locate a reliable cryptocurrency recovery firm that could help us retrieve our lost funds. We spent hours researching and reading reviews, trying to find a reputable service that could provide the assistance we desperately needed. Finally, we came across ADWARE RECOVERY SPECIALIST, which seemed to have a solid track record and positive testimonials from others who had faced similar challenges. The process wasn’t easy, but we felt hopeful that we might finally get our money back. We learned the importance of vigilance and thorough research in the crypto space. Though our experience was painful, it taught us valuable lessons about trust and investment.
