Not a pic or gif, but good gawd is this ridiculous.
My buddy at work lives next to some wooded farmland. The farmer died and next of kin wants to sell. Lots of developers trying to help along the urban sprawl; he was nervous and wanted to try to buy a couple acres for a buffer before the inevitable encroachment of city folk trying to live the country life on half acre lots moved in.
The asking price for land that was 9.5k an acre 3 years ago was now 23.5k an acre. “I can’t swing that,” my buddy said. He’ll just build a mound and plant some thick stuff down the property line.
Well, a developer didn’t end up buying the parcel. Some rich doctor who doesn’t even live in the state bought 38 acres at 23.5k per. 893 thousand dollars! Not to develop, but to put in, get this... a butterfly sanctuary.
I don’t even know what that is, but my buddy is happy he won’t have a bunch of rich slobs effin up the neighborhood. He thinks the guy is gonna let him deer hunt there. I don’t think anybody who spends almost a million dollars on butterflies is going to be into hunting, fishing, or not being a complete dickwad. At least it won’t be cookie cutter houses on postage stamp lots.

Shit, I told him if the guy is going to be an absentee owner he should act like the biggest tree hugging chooch and talk the guy into hiring him on as caretaker. “Yaah brother, the butterflies are so happy. They’re dipping their little tendrils in the sweet milk of human kindness as I massage their velveteen wings with the soothing sounds of my pan flute.”

If you have monarch butterflies in the area your speaking of their main food source are milk weeds it could become a big weed patch ?
Just a thought he should mention butterflies like apples especially when they are in bloom .

Sounds like your buddy got lucky. Maybe he will do some bees too. Cold beer says the dude bought a boat or something and his wife said fine, but I get a butterfly garden. Winner winner
