Metal Bookmark – Monarch and Milkweed
Finish: Solid brass, electro-plated with non-tarnishing silver finish, giclee print
The monarch butterfly — with its easily-recognizable orange-and-black pattern — will only lay its eggs on milkweed plants, the primary food source for monarch caterpillars. The disappearance of milkweed from the monarch’s habitat has greatly impacted its population. Individuals can help by planting native milkweed in their gardens.
Monarchs need milkweed to survive. Unfortunately monarch numbers are declining, partly because milkweed habitat is disappearing. You can help this iconic butterfly and many other pollinators by creating habitat that includes milkweed and other flowers!
Gardens, meadows, fields and other habitats can all be ideal places for milkweed. The flowers will lure even more color to your home with the many butterflies and pollinators they attract.

The New Beachcomber’s Guide to Seashore Life of California
This newly-updated field guide is the perfect companion for your long beach walks.
Newly revised and expanded, this guide to the most common animals and plants of the California seashore is a must-have companion for any curious beach visitor.
Look no further than The New Beachcomber’s Guide to Seashore Life of California for the essential tidal guidebook. More than 600 species of the sponges, molluscs, crustaceans, sea stars, sea anemones, jellies, fishes, seaweeds and other flora and fauna you’re likely to see are described here in concise detail―that’s more than double the entries from the original and ever-popular Beachcomber’s Guide to California.
Each entry is photographed in splendid color for identification in the natural habitat, and there are new indicators classifying introduced/invasive species. Also included with each species are common and scientific names, description, size, habitat, range and interesting notes, such as how the Dalmation polyclad has about forty eyes or how it takes ten years for a common lampshell to reach full size.
