@HectorPilots Oh, and correction...they have adored my zinnia patch but this photo is of them feeding on my massive Mexican sunflower plants. The thing got tree size and then part of it toppled over! I want to plant a whole row of these next year. 😍
Chicago region folks: @dupageforest Preserve and DuPage Monarchs are hosting a 1/2day free event on pollinator landscapes--homes, businesses, golf courses, & schools in Wheaton. Awesome bug guy Andres Ortega is speaking, and I'm keynoting. Fun! Register: https://t.co/j2nR7IODHy
Not all #pollinators migrate away for the winter like #monarchs do! One of the best things you can do to provide #habitat is to leave cover for them to #overwinter! Check out this PSA from the @xercessociety about protecting pollinators all winter long. https://t.co/nCwypxsEwe
There has to be—I’m not kidding you—500 #monarch#butterflies in our trees tonight, just because we planted 400 Meadow Blazing Star native #MN#flowers last fall in the seed production plots. Planted 4,000 more this summer, next year will be even better! Plant it everywhere...
Plant #milkweed for #monarchs and they will come. I never get early summer monarchs but the last summer wave of monarchs that lays the eggs of the great migrators. They are amazing. #inawe#nature
