On Milkweed
/I’m thrilled to see more plants coming up this year since the Monarch butterflies lay their eggs on the plants and the caterpillars feast on their leaves.
There are even orange and black milkweed bugs that feed on the plants and are often seen in clusters of large and small insects (a picture from last fall).
Many other butterflies and bees like the nectar of their flowers. Even humans can smell the sweetness of the milkweed flowers!
These are things to look forward to in the coming months!
