Monarch Butterflies are in Trouble… How To Raise Monarch Caterpillars!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- It's finally the time of year where our garden is full of blooms and full of life! Each season, we make a specific effort to attract monarch butterflies to the garden by planting a large amount of milkweed plants. Luckily again for us this year, some monarchs have shown up and laid eggs on the plants! In today's video, we are going to show you how we like to set up and rear young monarch caterpillars in a protected enclosure to help ensure that they reach adulthood. Monarchs are a species of special concern and there is a real possibility that we could lose this species in the wild entirely within our lifetime. That is why we like to do everything that we can to help them out along the way!

Thanks so much for watching and we will see you on the next one!
We love you guys! "I was named after a tree dad". Such a wonderful family. You folks are what every family should be.
Back in the early 1980's, I was out in Dad's back field in mid September in the late afternoon. The breeze was out of the south and the temp was about 80 degrees. I observed what looked like yellow leaves in the breeze, but realized that it was hundreds of Monarchs flying south, since they were going against the breeze. I paused to observe this. I would have never guessed that I would never see that again.
Japan is doing well with there insects in fact Japan is insect heaven if Earth loss 98% of its insects the only place would be is Japan where insects are loved by many children and adults Korea has also doing its best becoming a insect heaven. perhaps Europe is next ?
Love your desire to protect nature. Look forward to seeing the monarchs emerge.
I live in the southernmost county of WV. I've loved Monarchs all my life. I began to notice about 5-6 years ago that I almost never saw them anymore. I educated myself and realized that the milkweed plants that were so plentiful here when I was a child seemed nonexistent! I ordered seed and began to cultivate it on my property. It has multiplied rapidly and to my heart's content I saw literally thousands of Monarchs this summer!
Baby C and the wonderful butterfly palace you own.Cannot get any better guys.
Beautiful flowers and plants. I will be glad to see those beautiful butterflies. Thank you for sharing and I love watching you all. Cole , Jay and baby C God bless you all 🙏❤🙏❤🙏😊😊😊
you guys are amazing! You not only have great energy to do the garden, but you do it in an ecologically friendly manner. Saving Monarch butterflies is such a worth while project. Your little zoo reminds me of my snake and turtle farm when I was in my early teens! Keep it up!
Love it! We used to do this as kids, although we used large peanutbutter jars with holes poked in the lids to let in air. Mom always had some of the large jars around come summer (I am the oldest of six), and we' head into the cow pasture behind the house in mid to late summer to find the monarch caterpillars!
That, and Mom's bird feeders, are some of the things that cultivated in me a love for God's creation! Your video today (and some others about this topic you've done before) brought fond memories rushing back in a flood.
Thank you both, as always. Love you and the videos and adventures you share! May God bless the three of you with all his very best, and prosper you always!
baby cypress is so adorable. what a gorgeous garden. what an awesome video . thanks for sharing, God bless,
My son and I both planted Milk weed and a "butterfly" garden to help the Monarchs. I used to see a lot of them 40 years ago but only see an occasional one now. Until I watched one of your videos a couple years ago I didn't realize they had become endangered and that milkweed was key in their survival.
Yes at one time we had pasture after pasture full of milkweed..not so much anymore.
@@camwinston5248 Is it true that the spray the county uses for mosquitoes kills monarchs too? I have been told it is responsible for us no longer having cataba worms on our cataba trees.
@@tommysmith9847 i do not know if that is the case...but it is very plausible...i haven't seen catawbas myself in quite a while..and where i have there isn't any spraying done..but we don't have old home places with old catawba tress much anymore either it seems..you would have to figure if a pesticide spray works on skeeters it would have to be bad on butterflies an caterpillars as well..hmm...i do know Cole n Jay have a few catawba worm vids on the channel.. They were usually part of a hubby n wife challenge...Jay had to eat one once !! Yee-uck !!!
My son turn 13 today. Big one three I'm feeling happy for Nova.✋
I don't know if anyone has ever had the opportunity to see a monarch butterfly migration, but it is absolutely amazing. In 1962, a migrating "flock" of monarch butterflies picked the hard maple trees in our yard as a rest stop. Literally, 10s of thousands of butterflies. They landed early in the afternoon and by midmorning the next day the were all gone. My family only had a Kodac Brownie box camera with black and white film. The pictures absolutely did no justice to the scene. If we had only had a todays camera. Oh, the good old days.😒😒😒
16 here. And I’ve been raising them for 3 years now. And this is my first time with swallowtails as well!
It’s the whole reason I started “Instagraming”
I show my flowers on there too 🥰
You really should have mentioned their cannibalistic behavior of eating any other eggs they come across 💜
I'm glad ur helping the monarch butterflies beautiful garden love the videos
Beautiful garden - Beautiful family!!!!!
I love how y'all wachover the monarchs', like they are your children.
Beautiful flowers & love your idea to help save them! Cypress is getting to be such a big boy! Prayer & love for you & family!
We have a Swamp Milkweed garden. It’s one of our favorite things in the backyard. So easy to do and the Monarchs thrive. We get mostly the 4th hen that migrated to Mexico. Our main hatches are late September. We just got out first caterpillar last week and have been watching butterflies lay eggs.
Thank you for posting this!
I want to be a Johnny Appleseed for Swamp Milkweed!
My knowledge of this would not be possible without my nature loving mother!
What a beautiful garden! Also wonderful to try and take care of the Monarch butterflies!🥰😎
Thank You Both for encouraging us to be compassionate about nature. They are NOT all bugs you know, lol
Cole-n- Jay...one of the most beautiful things y'all do..other than having Baby C is your garden !..and one of the coolest things y'all do..other than having Baby C is nurturing and raising the Monarchs !! OUTSTANDING !! And i think Jay is one of the happiest Moms i have seen !! Also..OUTSTANDING !!!
Great garden. I raise Monarchs and other butterflies and moths as well. I rescue them from fields where people mow down the milkweed. Keep up the great work. 👍
That garden is amazing. You all are so awesome & thoughtful of the different kinds of species to try to help them become parents one day like you all did. Cypress is getting big .Jay you must be giving him to much LOVE. but he's a happy baby. Love & hugs till next time stay safe my friends. I love you all.
Great idea to help the monarch caterpillars!
Wow..thanks for this beautiful video. Your camera is amazing. Thanks for showing us your up close and beautiful flowers. Take care and much love to you 3
I love this episode so much! Thanks for the information to help these beautiful butterflies! Cypress is getting so big and strong. He's so amazing!
I love when you do this every year.
I seen the video last year. Oh and the video where you transplanted the wing...simply amazing!!!
Love from Florida
It's the greatest show on earth. We can see you guys are doing something you enjoy and at the same time helping mother nature. Yes the Monarch & other butterfly do need our help after WE damage their environment. Those insects will see adulthood if Papa Attenborough & Mama Goodall looking after them. Cypress, well,, he'll be the next Steve Erwin. All the best folks & stay safe. Warm greetings from Australia.
I take you have seen the Rain bow stag beetles?
@@naturespecialist1489 Yes we did & more of the other segments as well. Rock on folks.!
@@unfi6798 awesome keep it up !!!!
Cypress likes the red flowers to as always God bless you and your family love y'all my friends
Really looking forward to their progress as it never gets old to see!
Hello Cole, Jay and Cypress ❤️ thank you for sharing this video I have learned a lot of information so when I get my new home I will be setting the garden up to help the butterfly 🦋 and I love Humingbirds . Keep up with the work your doing. Cypress is going to be one lucky young man because your two fantastic parents but he's going to learn so much from. Remember stay safe have fun enjoy yourself's and may God continue to bless you and your families ❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸.
By the way Cypress is getting big and before you know it he's going to be walking around child proof your house 🏠.🤔👍🏻❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸
Wonderful to see the whole family outside enjoying Gods Creation at its best. Always enjoy seeing you guys having fun no matter where it’s at. Keep the videos coming, God bless. Your friend, Wallace from West Virginia
We got it all in our backyard. Milkweed, Monarchs, Wasps, Flies, you name it. Hawks, Blue Jays, Cardinals, Gold Finches, Hummingbirds, Ground Squirrels, Gophers, Opossums, Raccoons, sorry if I missed anyone. I sit on my screened in porch and watch it all going on. It's awesome.
Cool video. Great video work and good music. The little man is growing. Great stuff. I still say you need a children's show on TV.
I do not know your faith. But such small things keep me closer to my own faith and make me more appreciative of the gifts the outdoors give us.
Like limiting out on Rainbows last night.
You guys are genuine and I watch your videos quite a bit.
I just collected 8 monarch eggs from my milkweed garden and brought them inside in my enclosure to watch them grow! Definitely going to do it every year
Outstanding !!!
Oh I’ve seen those, now I know they are monarchs! Once many miles out on Lake Michigan a couple monarchs landed on our boat and stayed on until shore many hours later.
Hi cole, jay and baby c!
Your garden is beautiful and my favourite flower showed has to be the passion flower and the mexican sunflower!😊
Baby c grows every time and is become big and is so adorable!🤗 And i remember when i requested another one of those videos, thanks!
I love this channel alot, the fish are interesting, i like to see the garden and insects and the growth of baby c!
Have a great day/night and a successful life, im glad to see your current succes!💛
Looking forward to the growth of these butterflies, and of course Cypress. Great camera work guys.
I love Monarch butterflies! They are super cool! Me and my family will catch them when they are catapillers and put them in a tank, and get them some milkweed and keep them safe until adult hood and then release them! 🦋🐛
The garden is incredible. Lots of flowers and wildlife. They sure was eating your plants up. Cool was able to catch it laying eggs. Was to fun. Awesome video
Such a beautiful couple. ❤️
Great video. I have seen more Monarch's this year than I have in a long time.
Cool video you two keep them coming and the boy is growing fast
I love your fishing videos, but this one was amazing! The videography was excellent. Thanks for sharing. Learned a lot about the beautiful monarch butterfly.
good informative video-nice looking young family-best of luck and look for more videos in the future
Great informative video you guys ,and enjoyable to watch. Cole, Jay and baby C you're in favor with mother nature , 🤠👍
Good Evening I just started doing this indoors in a 10 gallon fish tank so far we (My Mother and I) release 5 monarchs. have 4 more waiting to turn.... First year doing this looking forward for so many more next year.... Keep up the good work and Cypress is such a cutie... New fans and subscribers from CT
Thanks for sharing , Jay you look beautiful with glasses on , keep them on lol.
Nice. Thanks for sharing guys. Stay healthy!! 👍🏽👊🏽✊🏽☺💯
Love the pollinator garden….I have a bed of parsley and dill for Swallowtails to feed on while their caterpillars…And several Mimosa trees for when their adults. My rents have a huge native Milkweed patch for Monarchs…We found they love to feed on the Seven Son Flower tree as adults since it’s a fragrant late bloomer in PA where we’re at.
That’s awesome to hear! We have a few mimosa trees bordering our property that we love to see bloom in the summer. Butterflies are all over them!
Great work. Thank You for sharing & caring. 💝
Wow...that was amazing..and such a beautiful video. Learned alot..thanks for sharing❤👍
A great video. I learned a great deal. Appreciate your efforts.
God bless all here.
I love all your videos and I have my whole family watching with me I have saw those capillaries in the wild and now that I know what they are I will protect them I love those butterflies and also did any one see the humming birds wow wow thanks and please keep making all the awesome videos god bless from southern Illinois
We have a large beautiful yard here in south Florida. Home to many butterflies that seem to like a plant that I believe is a native. It is Firethorn, orange blossoms they seem to love, but no Monarchs as far as I can recall. Planning to introduce Milkweed since viewing your video. You have a beautiful family, thanks for sharing with me.
I just have to say that your videos are great and very informative. Y'all teach us so much about nature and fishin. Cypress is getting so big. Just wait till he starts walking and talking. Goodness he's so cute. God bless and keep on Fishin Y'all.
Beautiful yard! I wish ours was that big, but we live in the San Francisco bay area where space is very limited (and expensive!). We planted an entire butterfly garden this year, including tons of native milkweed (easy to find for sale in the bay area). Now we have tons of caterpillars and tons of Monarchs flying around. The neighbors are always commenting now that there are so many butterflies this year compared to last. I will keep it up! Congrats on your beautiful garden!
That’s so awesome to hear! That’s what our neighbors said when we put ours in when we first bought our house! It’s a happier place with butterflies flying around everywhere!
Cypress is growing up fast. So adorable. Love Y'all 💖💖
Your videography skills are superb!!!
I saw my first Monarch in years on milkweed this weeekend!!!!!
Awesome educational video, absolutely love what yall are doing!!!!Cypress is so big!!!!
Do you have a watering place for your pollinators? Bees and butterflies prefer some thing like a bird bath, but filled up with pea rock or coarse sand so they can land on that and use their proboscis to suck up the water. At a standard bird bath, they can fall in and drown. You are more humid where you are, and more rain, so maybe not much of a problem. I am in western Oregon and summer is our dry season, so essential here. I do have a creed on the edge of my property, so they do go down there to drink... Nice garden.
BEAUTIFUL FOOTAGE!!!🥰
Cardinal Climber vine is what you have Ipomoea sloteri, Cypress vine is Ipomoea quamoclit. it has star shaped flowers and very narrow foliage.
They are beautiful butterfly’s
I seen the other video where yall used a fly swatter to lay over the butterfly to repair its wing I think that's awesome god will repay you for it and will bless you
Very beautiful moment, God bless
Just pulled a few tomato caterpillars from my tomato plants. They were covered with wasp cocoons.
I still remember when y'all put the wing on the misformed butterfly. That was the original video how I found your channel 🤘
Yahh me too😍but im still thinking about that butterfly 🦋 what happened to her after that ☹️
Yeah my fancy zinnias are gone too…but I found Mexican sunflowers growing under huge picote Comos, so I cut back everything so the sun could get to them, they took off! Three flowers now but it’s not the show you have because of the stunted start. But I was so excited! I literally sat last year and watched your garden video & wrote down the names of some of your flowers. I had tons of zinnias already but fell in love with the Mexican sunflowers! Going to harvest the seed. (Hopefully I get some seed) So I can grow more this next season. We have a dry heat here in Northern California. I think the humidity helps flowers back there because yours are twice as big! What kind of fertilizer do you use? Cypress is growing so fast! I have two grandsons and one is starting to drive 😲 it just seems like they were Cypress’s age! No joke!
I have actually been excited for your garden vlogs for the 🦋 butterflies and such I have enjoyed your garden vids too thank you for sharing . Boy is baby c ever growing 💙🦋🌷🍓🐛🐾🐌👾🐛🦋🌷🌷
Yes finally!! More butterfly videos!
I should have added I'm in southwest Florida. I'm also growing Dutchman pipe vine and have raised the swallowtail on them.
You Guys Killed It! Another VIRAL Climbing The Algorithms!!
So amazing. They are So pretty and definitely need help to have a fighting chance.
You have some amazing flowers Ive never seen or heard of before. So cool. It must be loaded with bugs and animals at times. So cool you grow the butterflies. Always fun to watch. Great video
Here in at least Central Florida Lantana grows wild mostly in that I know of Orange Groves especially dead groves till they plant housing .
Release my first one today!! and walked the yard before mowing later today pulling milkweed and found 3 caterpillars and 7 eggs that would have been mowed over.
I wonder if you can find them easier at night with a black light like tomato worms. I know you can find black light flashlights at the auto parts store.
We have a Butterfly Grove here in Pismo Beach CA. The monarchs are chipped so that they can keep trac of migration etc.
That is so awesome, I really wish I could help with the butterfly’s!
So informative! Very cool stuff
You would never guess that yellow and black caterpillar would turn into an orange and black butterfly.
Great video guys.
I have been waiting of a video from you that lets you shows both or your knowledge of the creatures that God has created. Thanks so very much for this one. Still love the fishing and all the others one. God Bless.
Very cool….
all my milkweed i bought did not grow but my cosmos flowers went nuts they are 6 or 7 feet now. no monarchs but lots of swallowtails, hummingbird moths and bees. its great to watch all the insects. guess ill try again next year with milkweed if i find more seeds.
This is beautiful I love it
In Canada there is a mountain called Cypress. It is in BC.
Videos like this are the best!
Just the same old fishing gets a bit stale sometimes.
I do the same thing with my kids we have found 20 so far this year it’s our fourth year doing it
Great video! Thanks.
Love this.
I found one on my parsley once it was so unusual looking that I just let it eat. I had a lot of it planted. When it turned into the green thing I brought it inside and was very surprised when it hatched into a monarch.
Monarchs do not eat parsley only Asclepias species aka Milkweed.
So cool
Like all your butterfly garden plants and videos. So authentic❤️. You guys are awesome!
I would like to see if you can sell some seeds of your lions tail plants? Please let me know. I’ll be glad to pay for the shipping. Thank you❤️
Hi guys🙏❤❤❤
You know if someone were to send Cole a book how to build a pirogue by Nicholas Poret, maybe he'll build a pirogue to replace kayaks😉😉. Maybe with floatation and such built in. Kind of spur Cole to woodworking.😉
I'm in Texas and I've seen a few moarchs lately but I haven't seen any of the big swallow tail butterflies lately. I also don't have many thistle plants or a vegetable garden. My 4 o'clock plants are gone which the humming birds 🐦 liked and at night the hummingbird moths came out. They were kinda big and freaked me out!
