@MrLundScience I’ve improved my raising abilities thanks to your help last year. This week thanks to working from home I recorded my first and second eclosing monarch three days apart.

Monarch Watch [dot org] has asked that those who tag Monarchs, if possible try to find/tag more wild ones. I had an amazing opportunity to do so with a large gathering of them! And had two cool helpers along for the ride! #RaisingMonarchs #PlantMilkweed youtu.be/ivf0CjcRAns

@NWSChicago @MikeJanssenWX This female cardinal and male Baltimore Oriole are not waiting for tonight’s cold front to come through. They are staying cool by the pool.

A cold front will bring breezy northerly winds overnight, creating dangerous swim conditions from high waves and strong currents. These hazardous conditions will remain into Saturday evenings. #ILwx #INwx

@DIvory_WGN These two are cooling off now and not waiting for tonight’s cold front. Staying cool at the pool. A male Baltimore Oriole and female cardinal. Frank McKenna, Itasca, IL

Severe thunderstorm warning for this storm that exploded over Schaumburg.

@Pkitty1975 Our butterfly weed is as well.

@CollinaMonarca This monarch eclosed this week and I luckily got video of two of ours “hatching” on different days the same week.

Thinking of Homero Gomez Gonzalez today. He was killed protecting these endangered #butterflies. The very least we can do is plant a bit of #Milkweed for them. #gardens

@Skilling This looks like Groot’s cousin. Frank McKenna, Itasca, IL

What state in this country has the fewest tornadoes? wgntv.com/weather/weathe…

@Skilling We had plenty of monarchs and tiger swallowtails like this one in our yard this weekend. Frank McKenna, Itasca

@PrairieMoonNrsy I have had 18 monarch caterpillars on my milkweed so far this year. I wasn’t sure if they all became chrysalis or were eaten by raccoons or robins that pass through our yard? I saved one in my butterfly cage that created its chrysalis.

Each summer we look forward to the return of the iconic Monarch Butterfly. Have you seen any yet? Monarchs migrate to the US from Mexico to breed and they need Milkweeds, members of the Asclepias genus, to lay their eggs on provide food for the caterpillars. #choosenativeplants

@Pamela_Jones I figured out what CHOP stands for. Children Hating Our Police. Good luck.

@messycanvas I figured out what CHOP stands for. Children Hating Our Police. Good luck.

@Skilling I am seeing double. Two huge monarch caterpillars eating the same flower buds from this huge butterfly weed plant. We have almost two dozen “cats” this size in our yard. In another two weeks they should be flying around as full fledged monarchs. Frank McKenna ITASCA, IL

@MonarchsJV What is milkweek? The week we celebrate milk?

As milkweed starts to sprout up, we begin to watch for signs of monarchs! Monarchs lay eggs only on milkweed, and then the caterpillars eat only milkweek. It’s such an important plant! Support MJV today to be a part of conservation! ow.ly/qwgy50zwvTA #GiveAtHomeMN

When my wife was sewing masks for our family this week my daughter decided all of her “babies” needed them as well. #coronavirus #covid_19 #mask #quarantine 😷 instagram.com/p/B_m_WbDhmjZ/…

@tahmanbradley Your timeline is completely missing one main fact of president trump placing a travel ban on flights from China on January 31st and he was ridiculed for it. Please add that to your post.

@growmilkweed This makes no sense. How does ABC news know before the numbers are released next Friday??? The numbers have been promised for weeks.

@DIvory_WGN Try this photo from wildcat canyon at starved rock to add one more photo Micah. McKennas from Itasca,IL

I’ve attached my try at getting this photo. 👎🏾

@NBC2Traffic @NBC2 Can you put out a quick PSA and share with your colleagues? Day time running lights DO NOT illuminate your taillights EVER!! Most importantly at night. I barely see cars when I am driving at night and especially dark cars. Turn ON your headlights. #TURNON
