The whole life cycle, drawn on one plant
Can you find the egg under a curled leaf, the big caterpillar eating, the one hanging in a J, the green chrysalis, the new butterfly drying its wings, and the mother feeding?
The guide draws every stage like this, and tells you what to do at each one.
Everything you get for $17
- Start in ten minutes. The quick start gives you the two monarch visits, the three things that matter most, and your first year in one list.
- Buy the right plants the first time. Antelope horns, green milkweed and zizotes, the flowers to plant beside them, and what to leave at the nursery.
- Plant them in the right place. Three to-scale layouts and a shopping list, for a sunny bed, a fence strip or patio pots.
- Know what to do each month. An Austin month-by-month calendar, and the whole year on one sheet for the fridge.
- Know what you’re looking at. Every stage drawn, egg to butterfly, with what to do at each one, and how to tell a monarch from its look-alike, the queen.
