In Northern America the butterflies migrate as far north as parts of Canada. Their South American destination is a spot in Central America, where they winter in the trees by the millions. What is happening is that the local population is cutting down the forest for firewood to sell. The human population is impoverished. They do have a "tourist business" which involves the Monarch butterfly, but fewer and fewer of the amazing butterflies are surviving the deforestation. You may be able to find out more of this by going to the NPR website (National Public Radio).<br /><br />The butterflies need us to work for their survival!Laura Paine Carrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05062656101856415850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783732461624617508.post-9180159475997969162010-07-23T11:51:19.884-04:002010-07-23T11:51:19.884-04:00Helen...it's a post that makes one think!

But not all of them have emerged as butterflies. Something is out sucking the pupa.<br /><br />I hope your monarch caterpillars make it successfully. Keep us posted. Love the idea of butterfly gardening workshops. I've heard that some schools here are already introducing Nature as a subject. In my day we had a book called "Nature Rambles". Still have fond memories of those classes...some lessons remain in the heart for ever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783732461624617508.post-87860164401611726832010-07-22T09:00:48.860-04:002010-07-22T09:00:48.860-04:00Never noticed if a butterfly was missing ...

I wish our schools, instead just talking about environment also get the newer generations interested in nature. Like after I started taking bird pictures, I look at any trees being trimmed with a more aware concern.Indian Home Makerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649133480442907582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783732461624617508.post-6397176259422868412010-07-18T22:34:38.855-04:002010-07-18T22:34:38.855-04:00Wonderful story!

But it takes all of our neighbors as well, doesn't it?<br />Keep us posted on their growth.<br />Thanks.
