Have you ever wondered how you can tell the difference between a male and female monarch butterfly? Well, here’s your guide!
Because both females and males can vary in size, sexing them based on size doesn’t always work. The best way is to look at their hind wings. The male monarch butterfly has a black spot on each hind wing that is made of special scales. Additionally, the female monarch has thicker wing veins that make her look darker. This can be helpful information if you are keeping an eye out for monarch butterfly eggs.

🎆 Important Reminder: July 4th is the #1 day pets go missing. 🎆
Fireworks may be fun for some—but for our pets, they can be terrifying. Let’s keep them safe this Independence Day! 🐾 Now is the time to take action and be prepared.

✅ Secure fences and gates
✅ Refill anxiety medications or calming aids
✅ Update ID tags and microchip info (especially if you’ve moved or changed your phone number) and make sure your pet's microchip is registered
✅ Make sure your pet wears a collar with your current contact info
✅ Have a clear, current photo of your pet (best if taken at their level)
✅ Keep pets indoors in a quiet, safe room
✅ Use background noise like a TV or radio to help soothe and distract them

If your pet does escape, proper ID and an up-to-date microchip greatly increase the chances of a safe return. 💙 It is very important to be prepared ahead of time.

Please take a few moments now—your preparation could make all the difference.

Resources spread around your home may help reduce tension between cats. This way, one cat doesn't have to pass another cat or walk through another cat's personal area in order to access a resource. In a multicat home it's a good idea to have more than one location for litter boxes, scratching posts, cat beds, water bowls. If there's competition or intimidation during mealtime, it can also be helpful to create separate feeding stations.
