Monarchs are the only butterfly species to make a 'two-way' migration....

How Monarchs Migrate Without a Map A clock in the antennae and a "sun compass" in the brain help guide these butterflies on their 2,000-mile trek to Mexico.

$2 million/year added to the Infrastructure bill that was signed into law!! That will plant a lot of Milkweed - particularly when we will plant it for free!!!

"The Monarch Pollinator and Highway Act — reintroduced in the U.S. House of Representatives by U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-Santa Barbara), Rep. Jimmy Panetta (D-Carmel Valley) and Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Oregon) in March — would establish a federal grant program available to Native American tribes, federal land management agency and state departments of transportation to carry out pollinator-friendly practices on roadways and highway rights-of-way.

The bill has since been added to the $1 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act that President Joe is expected to sign into law on Monday.

Originally, the bill proposed providing $5 million per fiscal year from 2022 to 2028, but the language in the infrastructure package decreased that to $2 million per fiscal year."
