Wonderful news!

Mary

Fantastic!

Sherry

That is encouraging!

Great. Did you have many at this time last year? You are in Indiana?

That's good news, Catherine. Perhaps there's a resurgence going on in some parts of the country.

There aren't many around my property now. I haven't seen one in a few days. Hopefully they will return in numbers. I sure have enough for them to eat.

I've seen quite a few here in the past few days also! It's encouraging. I haven't seen very many butterflies this year. Sulfurs are prolific now also!

I am in northwest Indiana and have also seen a lot of Monarchs (counting between 15-30 daily) this past week - compared to not even one last year. There's hope!

Looks like the overnight roosts are heading south! KS roost last night

I had even more this past week. Much of our fields are covered with goldenrod, and they (and the honey bees) really like it. I've been seeing 4 on a plant. Is that roosting? I've been so encouraged this summer. But I still never saw a chrysalis. I suppose it's a good thing that they can hide so well.

If you only see 4, I guess it's a small roost!! I'd still take a pic and post it on learner.org. Just make sure that you pick Overnight Roost! :-)

I've got over 30 monarch cats this yr. they are on the butterfly milkweed (not sure if that's the real name. A little different from the butterfly weed kind of same looking flower)

I was just looking tonight and saw about 6 cats getting ready to become a cocoon. I've been watching really close. I watched the Monarchs lay the eggs too!! We're in NE Ok. Exciting for us!!!
