The Monarch butterfly WILL lay their eggs on the TOP of milkweed leaves. I live in MN, and unfortunately we have had some of the communicable diseases that kill Monarchs on occasion. I do NOT recommend keeping the caterpillars together. I DO recommend cleaning up with a 10% bleach solution. The video footage of the caterpillar shaking off the shed skin as it transformed into a chrysalis was AWESOME ! ! !

This is a wonderful video! So nice to see that the Francophonie tradition at the Alliance has endured for many years 🙂

Wondering if using a rooting hormone on Milkweed cuttings to start a plant would harm caterpillars the feed on them?

Thanks for this! I have a tuberose (orange) in my yard for the second year and am still waiting for caterpillars 🐛

What type of milkweed is on your containers? Looks like Swamp milkweed. Does that work as well?

"Darn milkweed" 🤣

❤ I have successfully raised 180 caterpillars to butterflies since June. I have about 30 in chrislyis right now. It all started with one milkweed plant. Now I have 5 areas in my yard of milkweed. I even bought 25 tags and started tagging last week! Makes me soooo good.

I just found two caterpillars on my milkweed plants today. Brought them in just like you said.

I've raised about 70 butterflies. I started by babysitting my daughter's classroom project. I love watching them grow in different stages. I also have milkweed all over my backyard. I just love it. Please keep up the good work and keep others informed.

A great presentation from a woman who says 'We should be doing more for the Monarchs and shows you how in such a way that it's hard to say 'no.'

Amazing footage thank you for sharing your knowledge about the Monarchs.

I applaud you for what you're doing for our world. And you are beautiful. Thank You. PS I'm keeping my milkweed alive.

Anyone knows what happened with migration of Monarchs to Canada this year 2021? We are in summer of July and I have not seen a single Monarch 😰

Hi Jeanne I visited Kay at her house many years ago. But we have moved to Florida a couple years ago. Wondering if Kay is still raising Monarchs?? Have a great weekend. Thanks Sandra Melendez

My dad did the same thing in Iowa by the Mississippi River

I raise these guys every year, such a wonderful and fun experience.

Good Morning Hi I met Kay MacNeil years ago at her home.. I'm wondering if she is still raising Monarch Butterflies? I sure hope so.

Very nice Video but the quality is bad! Please do it again with a better camera. 😉

"Oh, what a surprise... Monarch caterpillars are a liiiittle bit... stupid." LOL This lady is awesome.

I learned a great deal from your video. I planted tubers of ice ballet and soulmate this spring and they have grown well but no flowers this year. Looking forward to next year though.

Thank you Kay!!!

What a treasure trove of information!!!!

신기하군요~

I really liked this video

Hit that fluff with a lighter and it’s gone in a millisecond!

You don,t have to be scientist you have be a bliever God is great

Hi Jeanne How is Kay doing? She gave me some butterfly weed seeds at a seed exchange and in 2017 and I now have 2 areas with flourishing milkweeds in summer that were home to monarch caterpillars in 2019 . Thanks again

good photography! and I'm growing milkweed in the strip between sidewalk and street in my Boston suburb! and I'm planning to see the monarch wintering grounds in Mexico! If we support their local tourist efforts, there will be less illegal logging and more butterflies! (See jmbutterflybnb.com)

im doing a project about butterflys

Hi Kay I really loved your introduction and that costume I just love it! Your video was so informative and your garden looks amazing so full of butterflies that seem to be in nectar heaven!! Thank you!🦋🦋🦋❤️❤️❤️

LOVE FRANCE SO MUCH. MERCI BEAUCOUP JE VOUS AIME

Thank you ! I have found a native nursery that can heip. So thank you ! Is the virus you nentioned where i need to cut and start over only a concern with tropicals ? Thannks qgaib. I am jealous of all you larvae and space. Here in la land is too expesive. But i do what i can. U r awsune !

i live in southern calif. What kind of milkweed can i grow for my area ? Thanks for helping this most beautiful species !!

😂... unintentional intentional humor. I had to put this in one of my favorite playlists. 👍👍

Mary, In response to your question re how far to cut down the milkweed plant - Just yank it out, or cut it off but get rid of annual milkweed once a year and start a new one to avoid strengthening the OE virus. Questions? Email me! kaymac60423@yahoo.com

should i cut it to the ground or how far? Thx again.

i am in la. thanks for the info. will keep it in mind😀

bless you for helping a most beautiful creature. i am growing milkweed and will be giving it to friends and coworkers. Problem is we live in the city so cant plant too. much but were trying.😀

Thank you for the update!

I have always wanted to do this but it always seemed like intimidating process. With the little land we have ,the time I have, love for butterflies and this video. I am willing to give it a try.

Amazing footage! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with others.

See Kay MacNeil’s 2018 REVISED video From Milkweed to Monarchs at ua-cam.com/video/YnCsTYhwSP4/v-deo.html

23:15 The "working of the mouth parts" is important so they can eat! When a butterfly comes out of the chrysalis, it's proboscis is in two parts instead of one. The butterfly must zip the two pieces together like a zipper! Then it can suck up nectar from beautiful flowers.

I've read that the milkweed beetle is bad for the monarch caterpillars because they kill the caterpillars. Is that not true? I live in Illinois as well, Centralia, and I just started raising Monarchs this year. I love watching the caterpillars change and turn into beautiful Monarchs. I have been collecting the milkweed seed and going to start a milkweed bed in my yard. I have about 3 acres of ground out back that I have dedicated to basically wildlife refuse. I dug a pond and stocked with different fish types, and have planted flowers that the butterflies love as well as the hummingbirds. I have found that the Monarchs here seem to only like the common milkweed plant. I can't get them to eat any other type of milkweed. Why do you think this happens? Thanks for the video. And I'm wondering if you are still heading this program you spoke about. Today my husband and I are going to the Monarch Butterfly Round Up at the Crab Orchard Wildlife Refuge where we will be catching and tagging Monarch Butterflies. This will be an awesome experience I think. Keep up the great work Saving The Monarch!!!

I'm in missiouri and found out this week there is a vineing milk weed vine called Honeyvine

If Trump builds a wall all the Monarchs will die
