I definitely have to concentrate on planting more milkweed this year! I have spent a lot of time expanding my black swallowtail plants; this is the year for the Monarchs. We are (or used to be) in a major flight path for Monarchs, I used to see thousands every day in mid to late fall. Now, hardly any at all. I find it hard to believe that the population has been reduced that much, and I find conflicting numbers when I do research on population numbers. There is sound scientific evidence that many songbirds have changed their migratory flight patterns, maybe this is happening here with the Monarchs. I will need to do more digging on this issue to see if this is true. I will still plant more milkweeds.🦋
