The Monarch caterpillar that Suan found yesterday downtown has been transported to the Salt Point natural area in Lansing and placed deep within a milkweed patch. Sue Ruoff, one of the Friends of Salt Point and the person responsible for creating the butterfly attracting meadows and securing Salt Point's Monarch Waystation (*http://www.monarchwatch.org/ <http://www.monarchwatch.org/>*), used Suan's directions to locate the creature and it's now been introduced it to it's new home.
FYI: Monarch Waystation #8782 is at Salt Point, Lansing. This is a registered Waystation with Monarch Watch, a group dedicated to the conserving Monarch populations. I wrote about it in my last *On Osprey Time* (*http://www.lansingrec.com/parks/20-salt-point/salt-point-articles/27-on-osprey-time <http://www.lansingrec.com/parks/20-salt-point/salt-point-articles/27-on-osprey-time>*) blog installment, Blog #48, which will be posted shortly. Thank you Suan for bringing this to our attention and to Betsy, Sue, and all others that attempted to help the caterpillar.
