We have new visitors at WES. ;-)
After efforts of adding their favorite host plant, the Passion Flower Cone, many Fritillary caterpillars came to visit our butterfly garden.
You can also find more Fritillary larva donated by our Master Gardener in Mrs. Cole's classroom.
In addition, monarchs at WES keep flourishing! We can find many larva and chrysalises dining on the milkweed planted by students in both gardens.
A demonstration tent with monarchs can be found in Mrs. Ballard's classroom.
