I planted a lot of native #milkweed this year to support the #monarch #butterflies and they were discovered quickly because the milkweed are now full of monarch #caterpillars. This one was found wandering up a stem of mealy blue sage after it and its siblings munched a nearby milkweed down to bare stems.

That's no moon...that's a monarch butterfly!
I found this fantastic mural today in Linwood, Ōtautahi, NZ.
I am not sure what artistic statement is being made here. I'd like to think that the rebels are fighting the Death Star with a moon-sized monarch butterfly. Flap flap slap!

, planting milkweed and butterfly

Together we are capable of great things.
@randahl u can bet that #trump after being almost in #jail almost #shot, he will go full scale #dictator #thug #mafia #dictator #monarch #king of #usa: and as a reckless and ruthless negotiator, bet 100% that #trump will say "look let's just divide the country, you rob the east, i rob the west or i will aim some nukes at #Moscow" because that's how the #mafia rolls #divide and #steal #threats #extortion
@rayhindle Done - and I've just realised I posted this photo twice, once with the caption of the photo that should have gone there, which, oddly, is the one I just corrected.
I think.
