I had a question for people who know. My town used to have lots of butterflies in it but due to frequent habitat loss from housing development over the past 15 or so years growing into adulthood I have seen less and less every year. Back about 8 years ago we planted milkweed of our own in our yard and now have a few yards of just milkweed growing. Of course though we were too late and the butterflies were already gone, extinct in our area. Ive seen those silly caterpillar raising kits for sale for like preschools and such where they grow up then just get let go. How feasible is it to buy caterpillars/eggs and transplant them to my milkweed to try and restore some native caterpillars. I live in the Fort Collins Colorado area

I have a friend who lives in TN. The algorithm did its thing and served me up a news video about a free seed program. I hope people here can take advantage of it!

Hey, hopefully somebody here can give me some insight. We live in South Florida and just had our roof replaced. We discussed wanting vents to be placed. My understanding is that vents help cool the attic down thus keeping the house cooler.

The roof is complete and no vents were added. The company’s representative is trying to tell us that our roof didn’t have vents when it was originally built. He said they leave space for water to leak in during hurricanes. I tried to ask him what standard practice is because I feel like it shouldn’t matter if there were no events before if the current standard is to put vents in the into roof.
