Bella reads everything and she is quite the nature girl. She found a cocoon and knew just what to do. She made this tee pee and found some milkweed and, behold, a monarch! I have lots of monarch milkweed but have not seen a monarch. Maybe the elevation is not suitable.
The butterfly reminds me of a dear friend I lost. We had a disagreement over me spraying milkweed. Not the butterfly milkweed but a noxious invasive milkweed that poisons livestock. I have to spray that out because we have not managed it for several years and it is becoming a real problem in the fields. It won't show up for another month but when it does, I am ready. Not that I like spraying. I would rather do about anything else but I will do what I have to.
