[Leps-l] MJV's Monarchs on Native Nectar Plants photo contest!

[Candace Fallon]

The Xerces Society is partnering with the Monarch Joint Venture on a photo
contest to gather information on important nectar plants for monarchs
throughout the continental U.S. Please help us gather information about
monarchs on native nectar plants in your region!


The contest is only available to Facebook users, and it ends April 21,
2015. More details can be found on the contest page: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__goo.gl_p2cRWb&d=AwIFaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=tVAKMFPe3UCcsMWUFXo0FeX0xe1JUAj77B74DAI3DKI&m=sxIGk28eYr9C-RL4Wm_PWuG3UnD21lqsSYHIshhSwNs&s=FVs2s412d8GSVLy-JG4O0oBloghC_ACXb4KPrR-g5LY&e=

Please note that the emphasis is on native plants. If you are unsure of
whether a plant is native, check using the USDA-PLANTS database,

If you have observations of monarchs using native nectar plants in your
area that you would prefer to share directly, please send them to
Candace at xerces.org. These entries will not be part of the contest. Please
include the plant species name, location, and time of year that monarchs
use this plant. All of the information we collect will be used to develop
regional recommendations regarding optimal nectar plants for monarchs in
all parts of their life cycle, including spring and fall migration, summer
breeding, and the overwintering period.


Thanks!
