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!

Get to note the scammers and seek help immediately!
Don’t be fooled by big profits and money guarantee. Mostly those who promise big money in the crypto market are scammers. Never allow investment plans on a dating app. Scammers mostly use the investment tactic to ask for cryptocurrency. They may also reach out to you in the disguise of big companies, celebrities and government agencies. If someone reaches you out of the blues in pretense of being an investment manager or promising you free money. Always ask questions before making any anonymous payments. Honest investors are always ready to share that information in detail.
Seek out Exnerprohacker@protonmail.com in case you are facing such losses immediately. They have been known for over 5 years for their recovery services. Be safe.

Hello, my name is Grusso Lucas. I’m going to share with you how I got my stolen crypto back from the scammers, after falling victim to a cryptocurrency investment scam, I was introduced to this cryptocurrency scam by a guy I met on Instagram, and after investing all my life savings, they swindled me off $4,600,000. It was the saddest moment of my life because I couldn’t believe what had happened, I was bankrupt and my credit was damaged. I reported to the authorities and there was nothing they could do to get these scammers or return my money. I thought all hope was lost and was going into depression until I came across an article online about a hacker who could help me recover my stolen funds, at first I thought it was impossible to do that but I realized I had no other choice but to give it a try, to my surprise Geo Coordinates Hacker Security Company was able to recover all my stolen funds and upgrade my credit score, I wanted to put this out there for anyone who might be going through the same situation and has been swindled by this scammers, can also contact Geo Coordinates Hacker Security Company to help you recover your stolen funds/Crypto.

I was absolutely impressed with the LOST RECOVERY MASTERS service’s high
professionalism and hacking prowess. They successfully recovered my
lost password after a few hours of deploying their equipment to allow
BIP38 decryption of the private key for Dodge I’d held since 2019.
There is obviously a high level of trust involved in handing over keys
and possible passwords but carrying out my due diligence with reviews
and one recommendation from someone I already knew, gave me the
confidence I needed. The Doge was worth 100’s of thousands of dollars
and he deducted the agreed commission and assisted me with getting it
safely to my exchange. I’ve since monetized the coin so it’s real.
Mightily impressed and grateful for their services after somewhat giving
up on thinking I would never realize the substantial theoretical gain.
I gave Recovery Masters as many seeds of various passwords I had been
using around that era and as much information I could help and that
greatly assisted the task. Their tech skills and equipment were just
what were needed for the job and wish them all the success with lots
more enquiries. You can learn more on their Website
