PELICAN - A group of neighbors in the Town of Pelican found a cluster of caterpillars near their homes on Lake Julia Road.
Last year, the plants hosting the more than 20 monarch caterpillars were mowed over.
This year, the group has a plan to protect the at-risk insects from meeting the same fate.
More than 20 monarch caterpillars have moved into some foliage on Lake Julia Road in Pelican.
"I just thought, 'Oh wonderful, I'll have to protect these,'" said butterfly enthusiast Mary Dork.
Last year, Dork was pleased to find a field of milkweed near her house covered in monarch caterpillars.
"You can always tell where the caterpillars are because of the leaves being eaten," said Dork.
The DNR says monarchs have been at risk of being endangered since 2014.

PRENTICE - Right now, anyone can walk into the Prentice School District building at just about any time.
There's no buzzer system and the front door mostly stays unlocked.
The district is concerned about security, but says a solution is expensive.
That will all change starting this summer.
Prentice was one of the first districts in Wisconsin to get a state grant for school security. It will install a secure entrance, cameras throughout the school, and a new communication system.
