Christine, I found those Monarch eggs on some Antelope Horns near a road in the area and brought them home. I figured it was better to raise them, because in the wild, so few survive. Every one of those eggs turned into caterpillars and all pupated, forming those pretty green chrysallises. But no Monarch butterflies found my yard on their own this spring, even though I had milkweed plants.
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
Integrity can never be taken. It can only be given, and I wasn't going to give it up to these people. Gary Mowad
