Monarch Pollinator Planting - Search Videos

Monarch caterpillars have been spotted in our pollinator gardens! Monarch butterflies will spend two to five weeks laying hundreds of eggs on milkweed plants, which will hatch after 3-5 days. Once hatched, the monarch larvae turn into eating machines and grow to over 2,000 times their original mass, shedding their skin multiple times along the way as they grow. After being in the larval caterpillar stage for two weeks they are ready to pupate and will hang upside down to form a chrysalis, emergi

Chew on this… Native milkweeds are the only host plants for monarch butterflies and are prized plants for pollinator conservation. Monarchs lay their eggs on milkweed so when they hatch, the larva can start chowing down right away. Fueled by nearly constant consumption of milkweed, monarchs do all their growing in the larval stage of metamorphosis. Just a few millimeters long when newly hatched, caterpillars reach about 2 inches long and 2,000 times their original mass in about 2 weeks! Monarch

It's not just monarchs that utilize milkweed. Each milkweed plant is part of a complex ecosystem that supports beetles, spiders, and more. These ecosystems can be found in your garden, a prairie, or in unexpected places. In 2024 and 2025, the Monarch Joint Venture evaluated pollinator habitat on energy and transportation rights-of-way (ROW) across Minnesota, with funding for this project provided by the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund as recommended by the Legislative-Citi

Gena Murray-Garden inspiration & pollinator love on Instagram: "Milkweed is the only host plant for monarch caterpillars — without it, these iconic butterflies have nowhere to lay eggs or feed their young. With a decline in the monarch populations, we need to continue planting milkweed. Fall is the perfect time to plant!
