Monarch butterflies, with their striking orange and black wings, are some of the most recognizable butterflies in North America. But they’re in trouble. Monarch caterpillars can only eat the leaves of milkweed, a native wildflower. As milkweed has disappeared, so have the monarchs, to the point that they’re at risk of extinction. Research shows that planting milkweed in home gardens can add significant monarch habitat to the landscape.

They found that even tiny city gardens attracted monarchs and became a home to caterpillars.
