Monarch Butterfly
by

Monarchs are becoming rare, so please plant some Milkweed to keep them alive, Here is a milkweed plant that we here in Illinois have found to be their favorite, Swamp Milkweed.
Milkweed is the only plant they lay eggs on. You can buy the seeds on Ebay at a pretty resonable price.

We just happened to be checking all the Swamp Milkweed along the roadways before it got mowed down, Found one caterpillar and brought him home. He is going threw the transition now, It is so neat to watch

I might add we found 2 more monarch eggs a few days ago and they have hatched so now we have 2 of the cutest tinest little caterpillars i have ever seen.
