Monarch Butterfly Season is HERE!

Our garden is now officially registered/certified as a Monarch Waystation :flower:

So far, we have raised (from wild 5th instar) and released 2 female butterflies and are raising 1 chrysalis, 1 5th instar, 1 wild 2nd instar, 8 1st instar, and 12 eggs. :D

Having found [url=https://www.helpfulgardener.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18204]a Tomato Hornworm infested with braconid wasp larvae[/url] in the garden, I'm going to have to try to collect as many Monarch Butterfly eggs as I can before they hatch into caterpillars and become targets.
