Monarch update - Catherine - 07-27-2021
It seems the people in Thunder Bay are raising so many caterpillars that they are short of milkweed.
That is sort of a good problem, if they can find a solution.

I wonder if we could send milkweed. I have many plants, but I have yet to see a caterpillar. They might just be hard to spot.
They will have to do a binge of planting so in years to come they have enough milkweed.
