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. Alan C On 12-Dec-24 07:51 PM, John Sessoms wrote: It got me to thinking.

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