MrLundScience | Raising Monarchs - 2018 AMA Results (Help The Monarch Butterfly) @MrLundScience | Uploaded October 2018 | Updated October 2024, 3 days ago.
In September, an "Ask Me Anything" video was released, asking for contributions from viewers of Questions to be answered, and Topics to be addressed next season. The top voted (liked) submissions were recorded on September 30th. Here are the results, plus a few more questions answered! Thank you to all who participated, be it with a suggested Question, Topic, or just through voting! It definitely gives me some direction as to what you'd like to know more about for next year!
If you are new to this series, I highly recommend checking out the "core" of Raising Monarchs, Parts 1 - 5, which shows in detail, how I raise Monarchs from egg to adult, and how you can too with essentially zero cost using household items.
