“Monarchs, Parasites and Flowers” Video

Cielo Rojo, a member of the Monarch Network, has completed a video exposing the problems generated by the planting and proliferation of non-native milkweed in the summer and winter habitats of migratory monarchs. Well meaning people are following the example of many North Americans by planting milkweed but unfortunately this is likely negative for the migratory cycle. Planting flowers with nectar in the Mexican migratory route is more effective. The video (below) will be disseminated through the Monarch Network’s partners on their digital platforms and social networks.
