Plant a home or school Butterfly Garden or "Waystations" for migrating Monarch Butterflies.

Monarch Butterfly "Waystation"

Millions of monarch butterflies are preparing this month to take flight from their Southern Mexican overwintering venues. Sadly, due to habitat destruction and pesticides, the numbers of monarch butterflies making the migration back from Mexico is declining. Help conserve the monarch butterfly by planting home or school butterfly gardens or "Waystations" for migrating monarchs to rest, breed and get nectar during their migration from Mexico to the US and Canada and back.

Monarch Butterfly Waystation Monarch "Waystation" Lepidtarium "Safe House" Full of monarch pupae.

These healthy pupae were produced from just one gravid female on her way to Mexico! In the wild, very few monarch larvae survive due to predation, pesticides, limited milkweed, and disease. A gravid female monarch can lay hundreds of eggs but very few survive!

Lepidtariums protect your Monarch butterflies, and milkweed plants from predators, parasites, and parasitoids (ants, tiny tachnid flies, wasp, aphids, and mites) Help conserve monarch butterflies by raising hundreds of monarchs in a "safehouse" Lepidtarium, and then releasing the adult butterflies.
