    Just heard on the radio that Monarch butterfly levels are at a record low due to illegal Mexican logging. Thought?

    another impact is their food crop being displaced by corn and soybeans between Mexico and Canada.
    milkweed destroyed by Roundup is decimating their food supply.
    Farms with milkweed growing along stone walls are being displaced by $500,000 homes with golf course lawns in the Northeast.
    We all need to grow some weed. :whistle:
    The kind the butterflies like.
