It’s better than you think. The Xerces society bought a bunch of different milkweed plants from across the country. The average number of pesticides that they found on a newly purchased plant was 12. The lowest number was two. The highest number I can’t remember, but it was much higher than you think.

Point Pelee: A Monarch Superhighway

While famous for birding, Point Pelee National Park is also a critical stop on the monarch butterfly migration. In autumn, tens of thousands of monarchs gather at the park's southern tip, resting & waiting for favourable winds before making the perilous flight across Lake Erie. This natural spectacle turns the park's trees orange and black with butterflies. #Canada #PointPelee #Monarchs #Migration 🇨🇦

Prediction: this is DOA just like #NEOM in #SaudiArabia

#MiddleEast is a dying region for all except the #billionaires #monarchs #oligarchs #plutocrats

Folks from that region should cut a deal with the likes of Kushner - here is our land, in return for a place in the higher latitudes in #Europe #Russia #Canada - Deal?

After a week of mostly cold (for SE TX), wet, cloudy weather, the sun came out yesterday and with that I was surprised again to see some late season #butterflies, mostly #monarchs and long-tailed skippers, swarming the main blooming plant remaining in the front #garden, the mistflower. Made for this one brief encounter. Sharing is caring.
