I hope to see monarch this fall, did not see any on the spring migration. Fantastic details Margaret. #11349671

Thanks Emile. They have been scarce this year. Most of us gardeners in the North East are planting sections of our gardens to attract and feed Monarchs.
Pesticides have damaged many of their habitats. Hope you get to see them this Fall. #11349708
