Monarch Butterfly Habitat


I visited Monarch butterflies at a vivarium operated by the Monarch Program in Encinitas, California. A 1,200-square-foot enclosure provides an opportunity to watch the native Californians as they flutter and feed.

A tour includes videos and exhibits. For information: monarchprogram.org, a nonprofit education and research organization.
The wrigglers love their milkweed.
Chrysalides sport a band of gold to deter predators.

I really miss seeing monarchs. It's rare to see any butterflies just hovering in the back yard anymore...
