I think I might have saw one. 🤔 Now that you mention it.
Monarch butterflies are on the special concern / endangered list. Have you seen many this year in your area.?
I see a few almost every day. My neighbor has a few butterfly bushes around his property and they really draw the Monarchs.
I've seen a few around.
Several times this year.
I can't recall seeing any, but I usually don't. I used to see a few as a kid, but with mosquitoes being an issue in Florida we have spraying done, so I am sure that has effected the limited population that come here.
I'm not really within their distribution, but I think I saw one a year or two ago. Could have been a mimic species tho
I have seen none this year, although I have much more butterfly weed growing than in past years. We have Swallowtails and California Sisters, and some little fellows that are too fast for me to photograph, but no monarchs.
Several years ago, visited one of their winter enclaves on the Caslifornia coast. Impressive with millions of Monarchs on the trees and shrubs and just everywhere.
No, but I've been sick or injured this spring and first part of the summer---mostly stayed in with the air conditioning.
Surprisingly though, the last few years (and this one as well) I have seen one cabbage butterfly that spends time in my yard.
I've seen a few, not many.
