Milkweeds and Monarchs BY Faye Mahffey Most of us have heard about the decline in Monarch butterflies. Programs are being developed nation-wide to help create “Milkweed Communities” that also contain other beneficial plants such as grasses and flowers that will hopefully increase the number of Monarch Butterflies. The Monarch butterfly, Danaus plexippus, is unique in the insect world for its annual migration. Monarchs that breed in eastern North America migrate up to 2,500 miles to wintering sites in Mexico. Monarchs that breed in western North America migrate to the California coast for the winter. The Monarch’s wingspan is about 3.5 to 4 inches. The average Monarch weighs 500 mg, about the same as a paperclip. The Monarch lives for only 2-6 weeks during the breeding season. During the wintering season, Monarchs can live up to 8 months. Adult Monarch butterflies eat nectar. They are generalists and can feed from a variety of different kinds of flowers. Monarch caterpillars are specialists and eat only milkweed. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife’s new Publication 5474 (0115), Milkweeds & Monarchs, provides excellent information about five of the native Ohio milkweeds known to host monarchs. Remember that Monarch butterflies deposit eggs on milkweed plants, which then provide nutrition for the caterpillar phase of the butterfly’s life cycle. There are 17 native milkweed species in Ohio and Monarchs will use at least 13 of them as host plants. The five native milkweeds discussed in the ODNR bulletin include: Butterfly-Weed (Asclepias tuberosa), Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca), Purple Milkweed (Asclepias Purpurascens) and Swamp Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata). Interested in adding nectar plants for the Monarch Butterflies to your “milkweed community”? The bulletin reminds gardeners that insects, including butterflies and moths, often have specific relationships with select native plants species that is dictated by the chemical composition
of the plant. Non-native plants are often chemically incompatible with native insects, and as a consequence alien plants add little if anything to the food web. Native plants suggested include: Ashy Sunflower, Black-eyed Susan, Prairie-dock, Purple coneflower, Rattlesnake-Master, Dense Blazing-Star, New England Aster, Shale-Barren Aster, Smooth Aster, Spotted Joe-Pye, Ohio Goldenrod, Ox-Eye Sunflower, Stiff Goldenrod, Tall Ironweed, and NarrowLeaved Mountain Mint. Are you watching for caterpillars on host plants? I have a large patch of Bronze Fennel that hopefully will be home to several Black Swallowtail caterpillars in the coming days. As for the Milkweed plants at my house, the
plants in the front yard are always munched on first, and then the Common Milkweed down by the vegetable garden becomes a haven for a host of insects! I found a Monarch caterpillar in the lower Milkweed patch this year. That is a first! The Milkweed blooms are so fragrant that I can smell them at the house. I have been harvesting Kale and Lettuce growing under the low tunnel and I picked my first cucumber and tomato! The Yellow Summer Squash is producing, and the Zucchini isn’t far behind. The Radishes are not enjoying the hot weather, but the Sugar Pod Peas are still doing ok. The Yukon gold potatoes are in full bloom. How is your garden doing?
