I am looking for some advice. I have tons of Monarch butterflies sucking
all the nectar from my buddleas. I am afraid their selfish gluttony will
dehydrate these shrubs - which I paid good money for! Is there something I
can do to keep all these butterflies from sucking the fauna dry?
Hey, wasn't this supposed to be a lousy year for Monarchs? They're passing
through today like I'm running some kind of nectar depot. Good to see - and
wish I'd grabbed some tags from Richard. Last year I couldn't even finish a
sheet of 20.
Keep an eye out for Long-tailed Skippers. This is about when I had one in
my yard and with all those storms blowing up from the south, you never
know...
