It is so important to plant the right milkweeds! I'm glad you said CA natives.
Note, we don't really want the butterflies to pupate here in Santa Cruz: they are only for resting and snacking on our plants (overwintering). Our monarchs tend go to the Rockies to reproduce.

Growing up in California, I unconsciously classified fireflies in the same unlikely to be real bin.
I spent a college sophomore summer at CMU and thought I was having a stroke with lights winking in and out in my peripheral vision. (I also spent a lot of time outside in thunderstorms because I like rain and SoCal desert rain doesn't usually include chance of death (except in washes with floods)).
Fireflies were the weirdest, coolest, unlikeliest insect possible.
