Re: Saw that Monarch Butterflies are going to be added to Endangered Species

Good for you, John. Continuation of the efforts of Dan & many others.

The underlying problem is the destruction of habitat (bush clearing 
including Milkweed plants) along the migratory paths, many of which are 
now broken. I have read that remedial action is being taken so there is 
always hope.

I've got a deck & I know where to get pots and I'm pretty sure if I 
ask at a local garden center they'll know how & where I can acquire 
milkweed to go into the pots ...


You can buy caterpillars on-line; 2024 appears to be sold out, but you 
can order them for 2025. Maybe I'll do that.
