Monarchs on Milkweed
Learn from a monarch butterfly expert how to raise them. Heather Schupbach has been raising monarchs for more than 30 years–since she was 4 years old—having learned how from her mom, who also raised them.

“It’s impossible to guess whether it will be a good year or low-number year for the

monarchs,” says Schupbach. “Some years I’ve had as few as 11-14. One year, though, I released 765—but it was a full-time, tough, crazy time.” The average number per year that Schupbach releases back into nature is about 200.

Schupbach says anyone can raise monarchs. Access to milkweed is the most critical resource, as monarch eggs are found only on the underside of milkweed leaves. Some areas have declined monarch populations because of climate change, pesticide use, and habitat loss. To attract monarchs, plant milkweed in your garden.

Monarch eggs can be found throughout the summer according to Schupbach. They generally hatch in 3 waves. The larvae feed exclusively on milkweed. The springtime eggs, found in late May to the first few days in June, do not live long enough, once they hatch, to migrate to Mexico. They can lay the eggs, however, that hatch the butterflies making the historic migration. Monarchs must migrate to survive freezing northern winters and the loss of their food source, milkweed. The butterflies that hatch late August will not mate and are the generation that migrates to Mexico and either begin or make the entire migration back north in the spring.

The program is an Earth Week Plus presentation. It is free and appropriate for all ages.
