Last fall, reclaiming a space overrun by invasives + mugwort, i noticed some small pathetic crowded milkweeds. I weeded out a ton of stuff last fall/this spring to give them space. Now, the milkweed is large and in charge, about to bloom, and i found a fat monarch catepillar!!!!

I was dragging today even after a double espresso lunch coffee. Finding this catepillar gave me a second wind! Our efforts do pay off! 😀

    Congratulations! And what’s so cool about this is they will migrate back to your yard every year. Their generations will fly back to you. That’s a beautiful thing.
