Have you ever spotted a striking orange and black butterfly fluttering through your garden? That was likely a monarch butterfly! Milkweed, the monarch butterfly’s favorite plant, is vital to their life cycle. But why do monarch butterflies love milkweed so much? In this episode, we’ll uncover the special connection between monarchs and milkweed that helps these butterflies thrive.

In the companion Monarch Butterflies Video Class included in the No Sweat Nature Study membership, discover the life cycle of monarch butterflies from egg to adult and create a monarch migration map that follows the route these migrating butterflies take.
