One of my side hobbies is supporting our pollinators, which means cultivating a natural habitat that they thrive in! My garden has a ton of native perennials including 4 types of milkweed that allow monarchs to thrive. We love collecting eggs and watching the life cycle from start to finish. We were lucky to catch this monarch caterpillar start its metamorphosis today and go into its chrysalis! It was cut a little short due to receiving a phone call on my phone but it will continue to wiggle and create a hard, protective outer shell that allows it to spend 10-14 days inside changing into a butterfly! My kids look forward to this every year, and so do I! Nature is amazing.
Please help our natural pollinators by planting native plants they thrive on. If you need milkweed seeds, I’ll have a ton to share this fall!🧡🖤🐛🦋
