Gary Lindley My interest in setting up a waystation for monarch on Rice Lake Ontario was started when I met a very involved lady in the Toronto area. She has had some success in raising and banding monarches over the years. Together we are going to set up a waystation on Rice along with hers in Toronto.
Carolyn Turner Greetings from Columbus, Ohio, Monarch Waystation. I am a newbie - only released 25 monarchs last year - but great fun and the 7 year old grand daughter named each chrysalis! I would like to tag my monarchs this summer - who should I contact?
Cathy Brouse Hi all from Monarch Waystation 2540 in Middleburg, PA. I've been raising and releasing Monarchs for the past 5 years, my biggest total being over 500 several years ago. I try to raise and release as many as I possibly can. It's a lot of fun, and I feel like I'm helping nature, which I love so much. We all appreciat...e the hard work and dedication of Monarch Watch. Here's hoping that it doesn't take real long for the Monarch numbers to pick up again after this year's devastation.
Susan Lahaie Greeting from Monarch Waystation 1529 in Dover Delaware. Finally got some annual milkweed seeds started today. I hope the monarchs make it back this year. Only released about a hundred last year. Well over 200 released in 2007. Really going to try to do good documentation of entire season this year.
Sue Busch Hobig Hi I am a Master Gardener here in Michigan. I give talks on butterfly habitat gardening. My husband and I also raise monarchs for release. Every year we place some of our new butterflies in a screentent for our annual garden tour to share them with visitors. Once in a while we take them all on the road (aduts , chr...yalis, larvae, screentent and tanks) to show and tell at churches, business, schools, or whoever asks.
Bernie Nanette Mundon thanks for the butterfly 3d
Brenda Waligura Gikas I was fortunate to participate in the Monarchs in Space experiment. STILL have 2 living butterflies from that November batch of caterpillars! I have a Monarch waystation in my yard in N.H. Last summer's dismal summer weather resulted in a lack of egg-laying. Hope this summer is better. Thanks, Monarch Watch!!!
Ruth Lowell I have been planting gardens for the Monarchs for 3 years now and I enjoy watching them and the added bonus is all the other butterflies I have attracted also. It is funny as my neighbor told me she loved my gardens and especially the fact that she got all the "fly bys" from the butterflies as they were flying around the neighborhood.
Sherl Ann Short Rose Can't wait for the Monarchs to return.
Sandra Johnson I am with the Lathrup Village Children's Garden (Michigan) and we are a registered Way Station. We do annual programs about monarchs too! I was wondering if anyone has recommendations on where to find not to large of posters that could manage the sunshine and be mounted for the gardens?????? Posters about monarchs, gardens, plants, etc . . . Thanks! Sandie

Hello all: It never fails to amaze me at the number of countries that have published postage stamps bearing the image of the monarch butterfly. Here is a recent one - the picture of which was sent to me by John G. Powers of Flying Jewels Inc, Cambridge, Ontario.

Judith Moudry Hi Judith Moudry, Muskego WI. Am waiting for warm weather and the Monarch in my garden.
Karen Tobler As a Master Gardener in Kansas I love to share the monarchs with school children. Heres to more butterfly gardens and less spraying in our yards.
Martha Bunim Moss The Master Gardeners of Penn State, Centre County, PA are already working hard to raise milkweed plants both for sale and for planting in Tudek Memorial Butterflly Garden. Very sorry to hear about the loss of life of so many Mexicans in the neighboring towns, in mudslides.
