- Caretakers found 10 Monarch Caterpillars and 5 Chrysalis's
Classic scene of Monarch Butterfly life cycle, beginning as an egg and growing into a caterpillar as it feeds on an Antelope Horn milkweed plant. To find Monarch Caterpillars, look for Antelope Horn plants that have lost leaves that have been eaten by caterpillars, they also eat the flowers of the plant.
Caretakers removed dead branches of Ashe Juniper, and laid on countour for erosion control. This allows leaves, dirt and debris to pile up against the edge of the berm, allowing infiltration and reducing rainfall runoff. It also provides light to allow grasses to fill in between tree trunks.
