I can watch your videos all day long. Watching a real life "Hungry Caterpillar" in action. You are so nurturing and knowledgeable with the eggs it's amazing to watch. I hope you use the pictures, make it into a book and publish it for young children.
It is so warmhearting to know that we can all try and be advocates for these lovely creatures....I chuckled when I saw the lengths you both went through to find milkweed....I scurry around saving eggs and newly emerged swallowtails on their hosts plant...bless you both!!
Christine and Michael, this brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart..the passion and tenderness that you two show towards nurturing and saving this beautiful species, without poison is breathtaking, you are doing so much to help the environment with that little piece of paradise that you have created, for the butterfly, the bees, the birds, and spiders, and everything in between..Love you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lily raven living with the nature is true life. Since 2005 i have created butterfly garden in my home. It gives immense pleasure to see them and shooting photos and videos . Happy butterflying.
You and Michael are such sweet and gentle souls. Your videos remind me to look for beauty all around me, not just in superficial material things, thank you.

What a great video! You two are amazing. So much information presented in an entertaining and gentle way. I started planting milkweed last year and the caterpillars ate every leaf.
Knowing Milkweed, it'll be back in no time. Once it gets established its yours forever, and your neighbors' I had the same thing happen with Aristolochia. 12 fat Polydamas cats starved :-(>
Christine, I've enjoyed all of your videos, but this is my favorite. I love that both you and Michael have such gentle, loving souls. Thank you for sharing your love of nature, your love for one another, and your daily lives.
I'm so happy to have found your wonderful video. I'm a first time monarch collector. I had found a baby and 2 caterpillars, but didn't know I should take them in! I bought proper cages, and was able to save one of the caterpillars!!! It's now in its chrysalis stage. It's so exciting!!!
Wow Christine! There you go and amazed me again!! :) That is so awesome what you and Michael are doing! You are giving back to "Mother Nature, Society, the World and Life itself!" Thank you so much Christine for ALL that you do! Thank you Michael for ALL that you do too! :) :) Great Vid.! :)
You are a delight Christine! Thank you for sharing your wonderful world! I learned more about Monarch butterflies than I ever knew before! Especially the success rates of raising them inside a controlled environment or outside in natural environments! Fascinating!
This is so awesome took me back to my childhood. When I was in 2nd grade we raised our own butterfly! Each student got a little container and a caterpillar we fed it and watched it build its cocoon! when it became a butterfly we walked to a near park and set them free!
I raise monarchs too! We have a big problem with flies that lay eggs on the caterpillars and parasite them and so I harvest the eggs and bring them inside to increase their chances of survival. I can't believe how many you have in your garden. how gorgeous!
Do you still do this ? I think it's awesome what you are doing.. I seen some video that said it was a very big decline in the Monarch butterfly population and they hope that they don't become instinct 😮☹️ .. So what you are doing is incredible 🐛🦋🐛🦋🐛🦋🌹
Beautiful roses and garden!!!! I love what you guys are promoting!!! You and Michael are soo amazing and inspirational!!! Keep up the awesome work!!!! Great video as always!!!
Hi Christine & Michael! What a wonderful video. You guys are truly the best. I love how you so gently aid in the butterflies transformation, and provide them with a loving and safe environment, as they pass from one stage to another. Thank you for sharing. : )
made her a beautiful home. We live near a field with some many plants, so we can. go everyday and get fresh plants. So excited! I pray that she makes it. Thanks for your AWESOME video.
I literally just finished reading (about 10 secs ago) an article that stated the Monarch Butterfly population had decreased by 80% thanks to pesticides found in weed killers like round-up. These herbicides are responsible for wiping out milkweed. It was so incredibly beautiful to see you raising them. When I saw you seed saving I clicked subscribe immediately. Thanks for this awesome video :) made my day.
Thank you! I'm starting my swamp milkweed seeds tonight! Your gardenerd podcast is my favorite to listen to as i fall to sleep because your voice is so nice.
allycatangel1 living with the nature is true life. Since 2005 i have created butterfly garden in my home. It gives immense pleasure to see them and shooting photos and videos . Go Green. Happy butterflying.
What a fascinating lesson I learned! Thanks you guys for showing us the stages of a monarch. I smiled at the "day care center"...that was cute! Love the time you take to help them live to adulthood! You & Michael are such good people!! xoxo
This is so cool! My daughter sat and watched this with me saying ooo! Look at the cataerpillar, and OOO! look at the butterfly! Flutter Flutter ( she's 2) Every time you showed one. Thank you so much for sharing!
I've had such a busy mind lately and have been praying that God could ease my thoughts so I could get some sleep. Decided to watch this video and it completely calmed my mind. Beautiful video showcasing just how beautiful Gods little creations can be! ☺️
thank you for this video. You may not see this comment but I saw this video when you first uploaded it. Now I am showing my daughter it because she is learning the butterflies life cycle and you beautifully displayed the different stages. She is six and is amazed that you put them inside your house for a while for pets. Thank you for taking the time to video this journey/experience you had. You kind of made it my daughter's also.
This is one of the most amazing videos I've ever watched. I love how much care you take with these caterpillars/butterflies. I was once caught in a migration in Southern California and the experience is something I've never forgotten. Thank you so SO much for sharing! (now I want to go plant some milkweed)
Rene Lewis living with the nature is true life. Since 2005 i have created butterfly garden in my home. It gives immense pleasure to see them and shooting photos and videos . Happy butterflying. We all must work to save them. They are great pollinators. If they disappeare , we will not get any food , crops, fruits ..... Nothing. Butterflies and bees.
You always surprise us with fun nature "stuff".....I really enjoyed watching this video and learning a little about Monarch Butterflies!! So neat!!! Thank you!
Thankyou so much for your help Saving our monarchs friends I have this video saved from few years ago I watch this in the winter time here at Rehoboth Beach Delaware I have milk weed start with 4 plants and now have a few varieties of milk weeds I try to do my part my gardens and yard a certified animals habitat only had 8 this passed season lets wish for more this season.
We recently raised some cabbage whites in the UK. Our caterpillars went into their chrysalis in September and just hatched! A long hibernation, I guess! It was faith alone that meant we kept them for as long as we did, until it got warmer! Lovely hobby :) You are so sweet and nurturing.
This is soooo awesome!!! ❤❤❤ Very earth friendly and helpful to the precious Monarchs! I also planted a bee and butterfly friendly garden! I think everyone should do their part to protect these insects. No pesticides for me!! Thanks for sharing!!! Xoxo, S. ❤❤❤
I so admire your devotion to the butterflies. They are so beautiful. I see less and less of them these days, and it's heartbreaking. #Gardening #Butterflies
Teri L living with the nature is true life. Since 2005 i have created butterfly garden in my home. It gives immense pleasure to see them and shooting photos and videos . Happy butterflying.
This is awesome. In a way the evolution or metamorphosis of the caterpillar/butterfly is not unsimilar to yourself .. I feel like we are and have been witnessing the gradual change or metamorphis of you coming into your own Christine and it's a beautiful thing to see.
This was such a beautiful vlog! So adorable those little baby caterpillars. Hatching from eggs to baby things to becoming a fatty and then a beautiful creature. Definitely very insightful and fascinating to see the transformation in just a few hours.
Yay! Glad yall are back! Great video. So glad to see you trying to save this species of butterflies. You really have grown so much much like these butterflies metamorphosis so have you. Can't wait to see what you have for us next
This is one of the best videos I have watched!! I must admit I am getting over strep right now so I nodded off for a few minutes because of meds only to wake up to the most endearing and beautiful scenes. I learned so much just in the last eight minutes. Time to replay!
Yay!! I'm so glad you posted a new video!! I check everyday to see if you uploaded one. This was so fascinating!! I learned SO much about the steps they go through just from watching you and Michael's video. I absolutely love you guys!!
Beautiful.... awesome to see the Monarchs life cycle. Haven't seen that since elementary school. And your garden is so lush. Love the roses too. Just lovely. Thx for sharing. :)
You two are incredible! Wonderfully interesting video. Couldnt believe how many caterpillars were in your garden and the size of them!. I have loved all of your cottage garden vlogs. Loads of love. Xx
Christine this is sooo beautiful!! You and Michael are so gentle and the perfect couple to help these beautiful creatures! Would love to see more videos like this! It is sooo relaxing! :)
So amazing! Thanks for sharing. I never seen butterfly's so up close before. I can't wait until I move and start my own garden and maybe do the same. So Beautiful.
That was so amazing to watch! It's wonderful to be able to experience a garden. I live in Florida and we have many different trees and flowers in our yard. We have a sweet lemon tree that the Swallowtail butterflies love. We have taken care of four caterpillars so far and it was wonderful to watch them become butterflies. It's a very rewarding hobby and I hope you and Michael continue to enjoy it. :)
The big cats will eat cantaloupe. “Eclose” is what they call them coming out of the chrysalis. And the plural is “chrysalides”. Weird, huh? They eat EVERY BIT OF MILKWEED! And lizards will eat the cats and the butterflies! Wasps, too, will carry the cats to their nest! Awesome!
That Was AWESOME Y'all Please Keep The Videos Coming I Felt Like Was Watching A Nature Show This Is Awesome For My Grandbabies To Watch Thank You So Much
Wow you are beautiful. And the life I have never heard of is beautiful. I literally live in concrete city. But you are breeding and saving butterflies! Wow that’s so crazy. But omg you are so pretty and made for butterfly
Watching the metamorphosis is pretty amazing experience. Love the color the turquoise blue color of the chrysalis. One of the many beautiful experience you can have with nature.
Better than National Geographic!!!! Enjoyed this. Very calming.
What your doing is great, your so patient and careful...Daycare, that's so cute...thank you for helping the Monarchs :), Sandy (Dan Lee's wife)
I can watch your videos all day long. Watching a real life "Hungry Caterpillar" in action.
You are so nurturing and knowledgeable with the eggs it's amazing to watch. I hope you use the pictures, make it into a book and publish it for young children.
MsMalika64 Childrens book. What a great idea!
Hi Yes that's what I was thinking that too about a book with the pictures of her own butterflies in it
