I can't keep up with the monarchs in our yard. The milkweed is usually "stick city". We harvested a seed pod and have quite a few milkweed but the more I plant the more it disappears,😁

Hey! Have you been to Butterfly World in Coconut Creek? I just went this past weekend. It’s amazing! I was also very impressed that they grow, propagate & create their own Passionvine. There were maybe 15+ different varieties there! They also had a garden section with Giant Milkweed & other nice host plants for sale 🦋💜

I'm glad you talked about the white cabbage"butterfly". I was about to get rid off the caterpillars. ❤️ The tomato worms, those i hunt them at night with my "special lantern" and pick them off the plant! 😁 Tomato season? All of my cherry tomatoes exploded, too much rain. 🤷

Im a very picky eater anyways so any food plants that just so happen to host a butterfly or moth caterpillar, was planted for that exact reason 😂 I've grown mustards, beans, and a tomatoe just so I could get some caterpillars and when the mustards flower, the pollinators will have a pollen or a nectar source either in early spring or late summer. Actually, im currently trying to remove any invasive plants i find and then replace them with either mustards or milkweeds But, I wanna try eating healthier because a lot of my family memebers are experiencing health issues right now, and I want to take better care of my body. So this year, im growing cherry tomatoes because I hear they are very delicious and the plant makes a lot of them. I am VERY aware of the tomatoe hornworm, so I planted enough so that I can have my own plant and they can have theirs. If I find any on mine, theyll be moved to another plant 😊

Great video! Probably I missed some information. My son growing these butterflies from caterpillar to butterfly. We have passion vines at home (inside). Caterpillars look happy with that. But when they come out we try to feed them with sugar water, pineapple, orange, and banana. They just became weak after 3-4 days, stopped flying and ..... This happened with just two of them for now. At this moment we have 5 chrysalises and 6 small caterpillars. How do we have to feed them and on what day release them? Thank you so much in advance.

I tried using maypop for a trellis near a mulched patio area....but then found out about the runners and it dies back in winter. Then it didn't come back at all the third season. Lol. Introducing it other areas in garden because it attracts loads of Gulf frits.

Generally... no. Although I just did an experiment to understand whether we had a predator or pesticide issue. Normally I let nature take its course and at most prune.

LOL! Never heard of them called orange dogs. 😂 I hear this from time to time... that someone gets so many that it strips their orange tree. But not all or most will be stripped. It seems young trees can get overwhelmed... or a lack of predators is the real issue. To each, their own on what they want to risk. 😄
