Hi Ian,
Very Interesting. Suggest you post it to the list. The devil, as the =

Received this through the folks at Xerces Society for Invertebrate =
Conservation. On southwest coastal BC the western population of Monarchs =
does breed (rarely) as a transient on its way down to overwinter in =
California. This is only due to the presence of milkweed grown in =
people=E2=80=99s gardens (a plant that is not endemic in my region of =
BC). This is well-intentioned but reminds me of the way in which humans =
have altered hummingbird migratory pathways through feeders. We now have =
a species of hummingbird (Anna=E2=80=99s) that overwinters here and =
would normally starve if it wasn=E2=80=99t for feeders (and I suspect =
some freeze to death during prolonged cold snaps).
I have also noted that to promote pollinator conservation some =
community gardens or organizations here are using Monarchs as an icon =
and handing out packets of milkweed seed for people to plant locally. =
Rather than promoting native species that would benefit a range of =
pollinators.=20
=E2=80=9CPeople love the monarch butterfly, with its beautiful orange =
and black wings and its endlessly intriguing migratory journey. But some =
may be loving it to death. That=E2=80=99s the tragic essence of a new =
study, which suggests the efforts of many backyard gardeners to save the =
creatures may in fact be unintentionally contributing to their =
endangerment.=E2=80=9D
