WILDLIFE: Butterfly Note

[dewline]

I think I must've seen Monarch butterflies on five separate occasions today.

For some reason, that seems to matter to me along with everything else I've seen and read today.

They're everywhere here this year! People actively planted milkweed and other butterfly-friendly plants, took care of the cocoons, and I guess stopped using whatever pesticide was harming them. It makes me feel like there's actually some capacity to solve the problems we've caused for ourselves.

Such pesticides are definitely being used less often, if not completely discontinued yet. So there's that progress to speak of.
