Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus)

Yesterday, the September 8, I have seen a monarch butterfly in my backyard for the first time since the dramatic decline in the monarch population in 2013.
I planted Milkweed and nectar-producing plants to help the monarch butterfly.
I invite you to create a monarch oasis in your backyard.
For more information, find two interesting links :

The Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus)

This species is currently listed as at-risk.
It is the only one North American butterfly who migrate, each year,
in large number.
The Monarch travels up to 4000 kilometers to reach overwintering
sites in Mexico.
To promote their recovery, consider creating a butterfly habitat in
your backyard.
