There are butterfly feeders available. Look at a pet store or online.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-83678729353320010932016-02-25T18:24:04.389-06:002016-02-25T18:24:04.389-06:00Hi - I "rescued" about 10 Monarch caterp...Hi - I "rescued" about 10 Monarch caterpillars from my milkweed in January (we were expecting a freeze). Now I have raised a total of 10 butterflies. Unfortunately I've been told that if I released them they would die from lack of food. Nonetheless, it has been a true learning experience which I have been able to share with my Facebook friends. I love Monarchs!<br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15615443002998880201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-78180694815834245992015-07-07T23:08:30.296-05:002015-07-07T23:08:30.296-05:00That's interesting, Snap.

If we can engage the public in saving them, we will incidentally help to save a lot of other creatures who may not be as charismatic. Monarchs are really ambassadors for all of Nature.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-63071473331385019882015-07-07T14:11:53.495-05:002015-07-07T14:11:53.495-05:00Wow, Dorothy!
