Dispatch From The Butterfly Ranch

From our walk today were many things of nature. Significant was this.         

The monarch butterflies that blew in on the winds out of the southwest over Memorial Day weekend completed their courtship ritual. Later, eggs were laid on the emergent milkweed. This year’s first class of recruits has hatched and larvae are all over the joint.         

And a battle-scarred eastern tiger swallowtail sat still long enough for a photo. They’ve been back for several weeks too.          


The Butterfly Ranch is back in business.       

Screw the coronavirus.....
