Monarch Butterflies
The Monarchs are on their way back to Mexico after numerous generations.
The staff at Care Animal Clinic participated in protecting the eggs to chrysalis this past summer.
Congratulations! They helped release 57 healthy monarchs to join the flight south and rebuild the population.
Over the past 20 years, the number of monarchs has plummeted to near extinction due to lack of milkweed plants. Often seen as a weed, it is sprayed or removed from the landscape.
Monarchs can only lay eggs on milkweed plants. Once a common daily visitor to the landscape, monarch butterflies are rarely seen.
To help restore the milkweed and monarchs visit Monarch watch.
