Monarch in the Grass Monarch butterflies are on the decline in our area. You just don’t see many; even on walkabouts through grasslands. They lay their eggs on underside of milkweed leaves and use the milkweed for nourishment to grow. To save the monarch population, we must save milkweed. In my area, there are plenty of milkweed or so I thought. Still, the Monarch population appears to be much lower than it once was.
