Since moving back to #Illinois, I can’t help but notice all the attention paid to pollinators–the critters like bees and butterflies that move pollen around on a plant, causing it to produce seeds.
Milkweed is the ultimate snack for monarch butterflies.
They migrate thousands of miles for this stuff.
And they need milkweed to lay their eggs because Monarch caterpillars only eat milkweed leaves.
Local milkweed bloomed and has since faded, but these butterflies persist. I spied a few this past week and hope I might see some more before they migrate south for the winter.
