Where did my Caterpillars go? | Raising Monarchs to Solve the Mystery

You want to save the MONARCH BUTTERFLY! You planted a milkweed garden, you started raising monarch caterpillars in the wild... but, they have gone missing. Where did they go? Killed by pesticides? Eaten by predators? Or something else? My monarch caterpillars kept going missing; so I collected caterpillar eggs and first instar caterpillars to see if I could take my monarchs through the whole butterfly life cycle and solve my mystery.

In this series, we will be covering the butterfly garden basics. I'll take you through how to attract butterflies, plants that attract butterflies, flowers that attract butterflies, how to make a butterfly garden at home, nectar plants, host plants and native butterfly garden. Come join me in my butterfly garden in Florida as we start our journey into butterfly gardening!
