The Enlarged and Updated Second Edition of Milkweed Monarchs and More: A Field Guide to the Invertebrate Community in the Milkweed Patch - Softcover

Ba Rea has researched, drawn, photographed and written about many different plants, animals and natural phenomena. She has been raising and releasing monarchs since 1970 and introducing school children and teachers to them for over 20 years. She teaches an annual course through the Pittsburgh Children's Museum on using monarchs in the classroom. In 2003, Ba worked with Dr. Karen Oberhauser, internationally known monarch research scientist and founder of Monarchs in the Classroom and the volunteer citizen science Monarch Larva Monitoring Program (MLMP) at the University of Minnesota, to produce the first edition of Milkweed, Monarchs and More for use by MLMP volunteers, monarch enthusiasts and classrooms studying monarch butterflies. Mike Quinn, then of Texas Parks and Wildlife, provided genus and species identification, connections to literature, photos and expert advice on various species, as well as editing advice. Many people from the monarch enthusiast community contributed photographs of milkweed and milkweed invertebrates. Ba Rea and Karen Oberhauser have worked together to produce the Enlarged and Updated Second Edition of Milkweed, Monarchs and More.
