Monarch caterpillar in Grassy Hill Preserve

August 2025
Grassy Hill Preserve
The preserve is filled with butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa) and also full of monarch butterflies laying their eggs on the butterfly weed and the monarch caterpillars eating away on the plant. The upside of not mowing fields with butterfly weed from May through September is that the monarchs can feed and make more butterflies.
