I so agree…Monarchs are certainly in need of our help.
I had Monarchs visiting my garden very regularly a couple of years ago…
This year though, I have seen only one!
I too, am curious about the 'spraying' to kill mosquitos! Our city seems to have been quite vigilant in trying to control the mosquito population. And this does have an effect on our butterfly population!
I would also like to add…Parsley is a great host for the Monarch cats. All types…from the Italian flat leaf, to the Curly…They love them all! If you grow this wonderful biennial, then please, plant a couple extra for the Monarchs!
Thanks so much, SongofJoy, for a wonderful article…And a great reminder of how important these creatures are to our wellbeing!
