First sighting of a Monarch this Spring!

I have several plantings of Butterfly Weed (Asclepius tuberosa) for them to enjoy, but mainly to lay their eggs on. The plants are just now starting to bloom.

🦋 It is very relaxing to sit on my porch and watch butterflies. Just had plant native perennials years ago.

🦋 Related: Carrie Haubner, co‑founder of the Queen City Pollinator Project in Kentucky, tagged a Monarch with a lightweight sticker.

🦋 That Monarch was later found at a Monarch reserve in Mexico. That's a 1600-mile trek! Also feeds into useful conservation dataset.

🦋 Protecting their habitat and increasing populations of their host plant is important. Get involved if you can!

First #Monarch caterpillar of the year.
The milkweed is just getting started, so I hope there is enough for the little bugger.
