Butterflies and bees in my garden, late summer 2026

Felt really good today, we had 6 Monarchs at one time in our 1 year old Butterfly Garden in Michigan. Managed to capture this cool picture with 4 on one plant. When we purchased the house the garden was ornamental grass and hostas. So this has been an awesome change!

Well some little lady went on egg laying spree
I’ve counted 32 eggs total so far on several parsley plants 😬

New buddies!
There's at least 9 of these little guys on my potted fennel in my balcony garden. I'm feeling blessed!!

Help redirecting Tiger swallowtail caterpillars. KW area OntarioCanada
I have a conundrum. I generally plant my garden for the butterflies and caterpillars. I love watching them and helping them out by having lots of unsprayed food and host plants.
However
In the last year or so I've gotten into citrus , I was planning on indoor outdoor trees.
The grapefruit dropped all of its leaves in late spring just before I brought it outside and has recently grown some very nice ones. Not a lot.
Now I have found more eggs and caterpillars than there are even leaves to support if they all start eating.
Plus this might kill my little tree.
May I ask help with an alternative food source I may offer them to get them to stop 🤷🏻♀️😖🙃
Thank you !
