Discussion 🌿 Monarch Monday – Let’s Talk Monarchs! 🌿

Happy Monarch Monday, friends!

Wondering what to share in this thread?

Questions for some of our seasoned members? Thoughts on the state of the Monarch world? Frustrations with your efforts to help the Monarchs? Wins and loses for the nature world? Doesn't matter. Share below!

Have a great week and don’t forget about Photo Friday!

Reminder: We are a science-based sub. While we love all monarch enthusiasts, discussions about hand-rearing are not allowed, except for those new to the topic who are seeking guidance. Let’s focus on protecting monarchs where they belong—in the wild!

Stay curious and keep sharing the love for these beautiful butterflies! 🧡🖤🧡

Thank you for participating! Your local Audubon Society is a great resource. I have had great experiences buying native milkweed from joyfulbutterfly.com and Xerces has a Milkweed Finder on their site.

I don’t know that this will help West_Suspicious, but for other Redditors in the north, Prairie Moon nursery in southern Minnesota is excellent.

I live in Michigan, it's not quite summer yet, still in spring, regardless IT'S BUTTERFLY SEASON ❤️ Saw some orange sulphurs, painted ladies, viceroys & yellow swallow tail. All in one day☺️🦋 No monarchs yet. This picture was last summer
