Our latest research, with @iragonese.bsky.social, @saltidog.bsky.social and @richardlovesbirds.bsky.social, shows that elevated temperature can increase monarch butterfly susceptibility to parasitism by reducing the medicinal properties of milkweed. #plant-insect #plant-herbivore 🧪

We have spotted lots of monarchs flying around Georgia this week - how about you? 🔎🦋
Our favorite butterflies are on the move and have started their journey to Mexico!
Make sure to send in your summer samples, order a free testing kit, and keep sampling monarchs if you see them this fall! 🐛
