Today we began our find-fest journey, a thrilling journey to catch a glimpse into the life transformation of the Monarch butterfly.
Inspired by friends who will also be raising caterpillars, we took a peek into some wild Milkweed from our yard, and we were stunned to find our own mini-village right in our own back yard! Here's to a bountiful season of learning and growing, both ourselves and Monarch butterflies!
We are so excited to find, raise and grow the Monarch population, one Monarch at a time! 75% of the Monarch population has died off because on an early frost a few years ago, and declining Milkweed plants due to urbanization. Monarch caterpillars have a 10% survivability rate in the 'wild,' but hand-raised Monarchs have a 90% survival rate! For the {LOVE} of these beauties, we are spending our summer growing the Monarch population and enjoying every minute of it!
