I was pretty sad that we didn’t have many monarch butterflies this year, and no caterpillars on the milkweed.
From everything I’ve read lately, the number of monarchs in Ohio were less than half the amount of last year.
If you have a little garden space, no matter where you live, find your native milkweed species and plant some in the spring. The main reason for the decline in monarchs is a loss of breeding habitat.
(Your other pollinators will love it, too.)
Monarch butterflies are now an endangered species, and hopefully we can help them before it’s too late.
Head over to the Etsy Store for both prints and digital downloads. Any butterfly photo can be ordered, just let me know if one you want isn’t listed.
