Save the caterpillars
I planted a lot of butterfly milkweed in the front yard and the other day was so delighted when I walked out and saw tons of caterpillars all over them. These are my monarchs that I can’t wait to sit on the porch and see. Then to my horror, as Tin and I were returning from going to hear Musica del Camera in the Botanical Garden, a friend was visiting with her children and one was picking off all the caterpillars – STOP – I cried out. My butterflies!!!
Good grief.
