I saw this article on CNN today and decided to share it. The entire Monarch population fit in the area about the size of a football field this past 2013 winter. It this continues, this species may not be around much longer.
The article points out that the loss of the Milkweed plant in its migratory route is one of the main reasons for the demise of the Monarchs. I have several plants in my yard and try to add a few more each year. Please help spread the word to plant more Milkweed plants. Every little bit helps.
Happy Monarching!
