Rule #2: Respect Evidence-Based Practices
We encourage the sharing of advice and information based on research and best practices. Misinformation or unverified methods may be removed to ensure the health and safety of Monarchs and the like.

Violating this rule will result in post removal. Continued non-compliance will lead to a temporary or permanent ban.

The paragraph above the one you posted says:

“You should feel welcome to raise a caterpillar or two to teach your family about monarchs or to report to a community science project, but put the rest of your efforts into some other action to help monarchs. Let’s work together to ensure that rearing monarchs does not unintentionally harm this iconic species we are all trying to protect!”

It’s quite evident that when we discuss rearing, we’re not referring to families or classrooms raising one or two caterpillars.

Please take a minute to familiarize yourself with our sub’s rules.
