The plight of the monarch butterfly has captured public attention and
sparked widespread interest in helping to save their dwindling
populations. In this in-depth portrait of the monarch butterfly—covering
its life cycle, its remarkable relationship with milkweed, its
extraordinary migration, and the threats it now faces due to habitat
loss and climate change—detailed instructions on how to design and
create monarch-friendly landscapes are enriched by guidance on observing
and understanding butterfly behavior and habits. Following the model of
their previous best-selling book, 100 Plants to Feed the Bees,
the Xerces Society provides at-a-glance profiles of the plant species
that provide monarchs with nourishment. The plants, which are all
commercially available, range from dozens of species of milkweed—the
only food of monarch caterpillars—to numerous flowering plants, shrubs,
and trees that provide nectar for the adult butterfly, including those
that bloom in late season and sustain monarchs in their great migration.
Gorgeous photographs of monarchs and plants, plus illustrations, maps,
and garden plans, make this a visually engaging guide.
