Mostly man made, but Monarchs are at home wherever there is Milkweed and other native wildflowers

Agreed. I wish more people would. I had to defend that particular way station from marauding kids and their rude parents that day. Unfortunately for them, the MANAGER of the restaurant was responsible for the waystation, and a certain rude family was directed to IHOP for breakfast! LOL
