Hey Allison! Could you do a video where you talk about making friends as an adult? I feel like you have so many friends and I’m wondering where you met them and how you developed that friendship? Love the vid as always :)

Here is Wisconsin, milkweed is just what it sounds like...a weed! They are everywhere! So there is so much food for monarchs! We see them all the time up here.

Thank you for spreading the importance of planting milkweed! It’s also an important host plant for many other species of insects! ❤️

Amazing that you caught the butterfly on camera going into his cocoon. I never knew it happened that way! What a fun experience Allison! Thanks for sharing the journey with us! Excited to see them ‘bloom’ into a beautiful butterfly!! 🦋

[@_ashleylh]

I never noticed until last year when we taught the butterfly lifecycle to the grade ones at my school that "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" is wrong about something! In the book, the caterpillar makes a cocoon, and then he turns into a beautiful butterfly...but if he made a cocoon, he would turn into a moth! Eric Carle should have used the word chrysalis instead of cocoon. I couldn't believe it when we talked about that with our grade ones!

[@heartsrlove3433]

Its really nice how excited you are about the catepillars. You need to find a milk weed dealer 😀. Monarch butterfly migration is really interesting too, those little things fly across continents! This whole video is pretty awesome, saving nature, biking instead of driving, beds at the beach, delicious wooden bowls of food, and fun drinks ......great vibes 🌞👍

[@bymelissad]

Hi ❤️ I’ve been to Butterfly World several times here in South Florida and it’s so beautiful seeing them flutter everywhere and they also show the process of the caterpillars growth. What made me sad was how short the life span of a butterflies are. I had no idea. 2-4weeks only😞 they’re too beautiful to be around for such a short time 🦋

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Oh, I wanna go to Butterfly World 🤭🦋 sounds so fun! Some of the monarchs live for 8-9 months when they migrate 🫶

[@bymelissad]

@@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF you would love it! It’s a beautiful place. Definitely check it out ❤️

[@jodierdmann2078]

We have had many monarch caterpillars that transformed into butterflies. I made a water container for the butterflies and bees to drink from. I have a shallow dish that I filled with marbles and a bit of water. That way they can drink without drowning. I really liked your set up for your caterpillars.

[@BetsyBHAPPY]

This Caterpillar journey is taking me back to my childhood. We use to do this as a science project in elementary school at PR and it was fascinating to watch all the changes happen before your eyes. I love how you are enjoying every moment of it. Life is amazing!!! 💖💖 Have a great day Allison. BTW, fall season is approaching, I am soooo excited for you fall vlogs😍😍😍😍

Your new cover up reminded me of a sunset. Looks adorable on you. Years ago I got to watch the migration of monarchs as they passed through our neighborhood. It was Amazing!!

Milkweed is not native to my province in Canada, but then monarch butterflies aren't native to here either. I only found that out by doing research, but I found out the proper wildflowers that help the butterflies that are native to here. So I appreciate you pointing out that you should do research on what plants are native to your area!

[@daviddeininger2938]

Thank you for saving the Monarch butterflies. I just heard about them being on the endangered list. My husband leaves are milkweed plants that grow on the road bank for the Monarchs. So wonderful that you're interested in trying to raise them.

[@cathie-aussiegirl6547]

They aren’t endangered here in Australia, so if you ever need some. Don’t know what they eat over here though, I should look that up 🙂
