Our garden is utterly infested with those things.

My zinnias in Minnesota did a great job attracting monarchs...I just thought they'd look cool.

I keep five milkweed types in my 'weed garden' for the Monarchs.

Do you moth?

If you moth, you may be a MOTHER!

Moths are important pollinators.

My sunflowers get both butterflies and hummingbirds, one of the reasons why I grow them.

Of course the hummingbirds have startled me on more than one occasion zipping over my head into them, lol.

A few years ago we had a hummingbird that would hover in front of my face to let me know the feeder was empty.
She must have figured out that I was responsible for her sugar water treat.

She watched you do it and recognized you. Birds are smart like that.
