Wow, you guys have better eyes than me! Seriously, I need to get my glasses polished or something.

Linda, if I remember correctly, Monarchs are found worldwide aren't they? I never see any documentaries that talk about their population health in other parts of the world. I get that the North American migration is an important phenomenon, especially since we don't even understand it all yet and there's probably more knowledge to be gained from it. But at the same time, it might be nice if those shows could at least highlight other parts of the continent or world where things are okay. Give us a little hope, maybe? Or even explain why the migrating Monarchs are so important versus the non-migrating ones. It is a little odd that the other side of the coin gets ignored all the time. Someone should crowdfund that; I would donate to the cause.
