How to Start a Monarch Butterfly Garden that Brings Home the Butterflies…and Caterpillars

Elizabeth and Philip—these two powerful people—would begin their relationship peacefully, even warmly, but they would become enemies, facing off in a battle of empires and faiths that would last until death. The future Queen Elizabeth I was conceived in controversy, a beginning which perhaps forged her strength and skill. He eventually found one.

Mary took the throne in , to the delight of her Catholic subjects and the shock of Protestants. If the two produced a successor, the Protestant Elizabeth would never take the throne. They hoped to overthrow Mary and place the Protestant Elizabeth on the throne. The rebellion was quashed, the conspirators executed, and Elizabeth imprisoned. Claiming she had no involvement in the conspiracy, Elizabeth was nonetheless held in the Tower of London for two months before being placed under house arrest in Woodstock Palace, some 75 miles to the north.

Although the man who stepped onto the quay at Southampton was an ardent Roman Catholic, Philip opposed attempts to put Elizabeth on trial because he did not want to stir Protestant ire. His intervention saved Elizabeth, a move he might have later come to regret. Six years older than the intelligent, vivacious Elizabeth, Phillip had come grudgingly to England to marry Mary.

Like most royal marriages, the union with Mary was for power, not love. Perhaps the most powerful man in Europe, Charles wanted to secure an alliance with England, partially motivated by the fact that their two enemies—France and Scotland—were about to ally through marriage. Mass executions of Protestants followed until her death in During the reign of Edward VI, England moved further away from Catholicism, laying the foundations of a Protestant reformation.

As king consort of England, Philip, Mary believed, would soon have helped reverse that course. In her quest to return England to the Catholic faith, the queen earned the nickname Bloody Mary for persecuting heretics and burning hundreds of Protestants at the stake. If she had, the restoration of Catholicism in England might have been a success. He was there when he heard that Mary was dying in His reaction was as pragmatic as his marriage had been.

In many ways these two young monarchs were remarkably similar. Learned and with lively minds, they dressed simply—at this stage of their lives—as required by both Protestants and Catholics alike.

Butterfly project no mere flight of fancy

They shared favorite pastimes—hunting, hawking, and riding. An Anglo-Spanish alliance seemed prudent. Philip insisted, however, that Elizabeth first abandon her faith—a step too far for the young English queen. Perhaps that is why she stalled and ultimately turned him down, making the Spaniard the first of many failed candidates to attempt to marry the new monarch. They nevertheless remained on good terms, but their relationship would deteriorate in years to come. Both Philip and Elizabeth believed that monarchs were chosen by God.

It was so devastating that I had to stop caging them and instead started letting them feed outdoors, which also has not worked out well…I had about 40 almost ready to go into chrysalis and the next day they were all gone. Hi Linda, it sounds like you are dealing with OE parasites. This can be avoided by raising from eggs, cleaning milkweed, and disinfecting your cage. In some continuous growing regions raisers will even bleach milkweed and monarch eggs with a weak bleach solution to kill disease spores.

Monarch OE and other Diseases. Would this be okay? Are birds predators for butterflies? Hi Annie, while we focus on monarchs, we also welcome and plant for! We have a bird feeder that we keep filled all year to keep the birds fat, happy, and way from the caterpillars. Bees and butterflies coexist peacefully in the garden. Good luck with your garden! We live near the Texas Gulf Coast, zone 8. Because the spring migration seems to be quite early mid-March through April , can you suggest some plants that will bloom then for nectar purposes, as well as provide foliage for caterpillars?

While I would agree with you that herbicides, habitat loss and extreme weather do take a toll on butterfly populations, I feel there is another factor which is doing far more damage to butterfly numbers then all three of the above factors combined.

And, ironically it comes as a result of the organic growing or integrated pest management movement! Twenty or more years ago when I would travel to northern California, I could find a pipevine plant off the side of the highway completely stripped of its leaves with 50 or so last instar larvae walking on it. In recent years though I see a lot of hostplants without any caterpillars. Instead, I see all manner of devilish looking wasps patrolling the fresh young shoots where the caterpillar eggs should be. If a farmer uses herbicides or pesticides then he will not have butterflies on his farm.

However, if a farmer uses parasitic wasps then the farmer will not have butterflies and neither will any of his neighbors. Scientists unravel Chrysalis Mysteries. Thanks so much for sharing all of this advice on planting the best garden possible! I really like your second tip on being bee friendly. That is why I think going the extra mile and choosing only pollinator friendly flowers is such a good idea.

I live in North East ,Arkansas a lot of farming so that is probably why, If I raised a few will they return to the area next year? That would be great. Hi Cliff, if you create a butterfly garden, you should be able to attract them.

One factor that could negatively impact your efforts, is pesticide use on surrounding crops. Hopefully you can plant in an area that will not be affected…good luck! Hello Tony Thanks for your reply, I will try and educate myself this Winter in hopes to become more aware of how to become more Monarch friendly , Just received 2 Spice Bush plants need to get them in the ground, at this time I have 20 Milk Weed plants out, plus all of the seed that I got from you I will start them in December 30 days to germinate and 3 months under grow lights Maybe I can attract a Swallow Tail if not a Monarch they need our help too.

The Great Monarch Migration

I just received several packets of swamp milkweed seeds and am a little confused on when to plant them. Can I plant them right now or should I wait until cold weather?

Population of Monarch Butterflies Has Significantly Declined Over Last Two Decades

Fall Planting Milkweed Seeds. I live in Florida. I am having problems with snails in the garden and ants all over my plants. I have been searching for ways to get rid of them without it affecting butterflies. I am getting nowhere, can you help? I just found my first butterfly eggs! Thanks Tony for all your good tips and information. Congratulations, I got my first cats this July as well.

The revolution settlement

I have released 22 so far with 14 in chrysalid. I took some caterpillars and chrysalids to my daughters 7th grade science teacher. The children were so excited to see them. I planted seeds for back-up and bought 14 large Tropical milkweed plants. My husband amended our heavy clay soil down to 3 ft. This has all been very expensive here in San Diego but I thought it would be worth it. A monarch laid eggs immediately and I watched 30 caterpillars every day, enjoying the leaves. Then one morning I woke to find that I had none.

How can I successfully raise Monarchs outside? Monarch Predators and how to stop them. Thank you so much for your willingness to help us. Thank you for your kind words Claudia. I look forward to your questions and hearing about your success!
