Welcome

Welcome to LBI Monarchs & Milkweed.

This blog contains current and past information concerning the Monarch Butterfly life cycles, migration, host and nectar plants, as well as current information on my presentations.

I have been raising butterflies since 2000 when Richard Stringer showed me MRI images of a Monarch Butterfly in chrysalis. I have been hooked ever since.

In 2015 I released 262  adult Monarchs (I know because my husband insisted I keep track). In 2016 I released over 400 (no way could I keep track of that many.)

I now live on Long Beach Island, NJ where I lecture on Monarchs, hold art classes for children and exhibit my art. The island is on the Monarchs' direct, migratory path to and from Mexico each spring and fall.

  1. Judith, I am working on lbi and have questions about 3 cats I found on my milkweed plant purchased Friday. How can I reach you? The address in the Bay magazine article says not found. Thank you. Susan
