When's the last time you saw a bug splatter on your windshield?

Lots of fireflys in my front yard this past summer. No decline in dead bugs on my windshield either, but then I often drive a stretch of road along a river.
Yellow Jackets were both unusually plentiful and aggressive this past summer. Honey bees, however, have been in decline over the years because they are prone to disease.

But kids and dogs might eat the milkweed. It is poisonous and we should not plant it just anywhere.

First of all, the toxicity level is not lethal unless a very large quantity of it is ingested.

Second of all, the taste is so bitter and objectionable, other animals and humans, stop after one or two bites. That's part of the Monarchs' natural defense against predators. Eating milkweed as caterpillars makes them taste so unpleasant, birds don't go after them.

So once again, your weak-ass troll attempt fails bigly.

Everyone should plant milkweed and other native species plants in their yards.
