I went to Medina Lake's dam area and looked around. On the first sunny day after rains, quite a few Monarchs were flying through. All flying, I didn't any nectaring. We're experiencing an influx of snout butterflies...it happens some years when southern Texas get rainfall again after serious droughts...then they go north. One snout on Evergreen Sumac and many others clinging to Poverty Weed:
No Monarch pics from the dam, but the next morning, I took this pic of a Monarch on Frostweed at the front of my property.
The Monarch caterpillar I raised pupated...hope it makes it.
