I don't know about you, but I enjoy butterflies. The Monarch is in trouble because of a cold snap that killed something like 3/4 of the migrating population a few years back... and now milkweed is becoming hard for them to find. I just bought 50 seeds and am going to plant them in my back yard. Hope they help... you can too!
Free seeds are available from http://www.livemonarch.org/
It just seems like so many of the little things I remember as a kid are in trouble these days... from frogs (they are in trouble from a fungus) to butterflies. Who knew?
Some of the best parts of riding include taking in nature. I sure wish the Chesapeake Bay had clear water like it did when the colonies were founded... with lots of grasses and oysters. Crabs seem in short supply... Rockfish are harder to catch... lesions are forming on the few fish you can catch. It is a sad state of affairs.
Rant over.
