    Etwas, das mein Wolfsmilch gegessen hat. Was ist der beste Weg, um diese kleinen Jungs loszuwerden?!

    Nur ein Scherz! Wir haben ungefähr 7 oder 8 dieser Monarchen -Larven, die mit unserem Wolfsmilch in die Stadt gehen. Meine Kinder lieben es, jemals Tag zu kommen, um nach ihnen zu sehen. Sie haben sie auch alle benannt!

      omg I was ready to write a paragraph telling you in detail certain things

      Man that is a bad infestation, and I am not sure what you can do at this point. Maybe if you ignore them, they will go away on their own.

      Ha, now I have to dial down my righteous indignation!
      I can never get over how quickly these critters eat their way through whole milkweed plants, flowers leaves and all.

      Can’t wait for my milkweed to be infested with these “little guys”.

      So jealous!! We had so many the first year we moved to our new house, two years ago we barely had any and last year maybe 5. Fingers crossed this year we have a boom

      The only way to rid them is to plant some companion mint nearby. It will in no way take over the rest of your garden, source: trust me lol.

      Is it possible to grow milkweed from seed? It seems to have a complicated germination process, I would love to grow some on my own!

      I said “why would you want to do that??” Out loud and then chuckled when I read your caption 😂

      On a serious note, tropical milkweed is invasive to North America and bad for monarchs because it discourages them from migrating south

    21. seeamonstress on

      That’s so cool!! How fun you and your kids get to watch them

    22. snekdood on

      careful bc that looks like tropical milkweed which is known to be more likely than other types to spread a parasite to monarchs :/

      I have some swamp milkweed and check it every day to see if I have any invaders. I also have some seeds I’m going to try to get going

      It’s simply amazing how few comment without reading OP comment.

      Great shots, congrats, good work

      When I was growing up (the 70s) in Sacramento, we had an empty lot next door that had milkweed growing as weeds. Every year we had dozens of monarch caterpillars, and then butterflies.

      I never knew until decades later how lucky I was.

      I was about to gently inform you that a lot of people plant milkweed specifically to attract those little guys. You had me going haha

      Omg, I was going to give you a piece of my mind! 🙄

      The flower colors are gorgeous 😍. So happy they’re doing their job.

      Great effort saving these little guys. Last year I had a few swallowtail caterpillars on the dillweed growing in my garden. Just after I saw them, I went to get some screening to protect them. I was away for probably 30-45 minutes, came back to find them gone. Sadly, I guess the birds made quick work of them.

      My blood pressure rose for a second.. I got so scared for them. 😭😂 This was good.

    37. BadPom on

      I was about to say, these are the entire reason someone would plant milkweed!

      You got me good 🤬

    39. EighthPlanetGlass on

      I was seriously about to post you in r/houseplantscirclejerk and break the rules for an outside plant lmao

      Monarch caterpillars on my milkweed is the highlight of my summer

    47. waterproof_diver on

      ?? The whole point of planting milkweed is to have it eaten by these monarchs to be.

      Haha very funny and congrats.

    50. hedgehodge7 on

      How awesome! It’s great your kids are so involved. Enjoy watching those little guys grow!
