Monarch butterflies need our help, really all the help they can get. In 2004 553 million made the 3000 mi migration. Last season 33 million made it. Milkweed they depend on is dying fast mainly due to heerbicides used by farmers. So can you find it in your heart to buy and plant a little milkweed in your yard? The larvae strips it bare and then weaves a chrysalis from which a new monarch emerges. Each time the milkweed grows larger meaning more of these wonders of nature. Best o f all they migrate through our areas. Lets make sure to keep them doing their part in nature by planting even one milkweed . A butterfly house is great too. Like a bird house w a slit for an entrance about 4 high in the shade. All BFs can rest and take shelter for 1-4 days. There are so many things that are easy to help our little creatures. An overturned pot missing a piece offers relief to frogs and lizards and salamanders. And shallow pans of water buried to ground level
