Summer 2018: We are happy to report that things are looking good at our waystation thanks to efforts at preparing and planting in spring 2017.
We didn’t see any monarchs last year at the site, but a female monarch stopped by on June 28 to drink nectar and lay eggs on our milkweed. She was captured, tagged, and released back into the garden where she continued on with her business as if nothing had happened. We will be monitoring this plant closely for the eggs. |
You can see the tag in the lower portion of the monarch's wing.
