But, but, but. All I have heard is that globull warming and Roundup was killing them off like the honey bees.

Nobody knows for sure why we're seeing a major shift in numbers.

I'm sure scientists know. Scientists knows everything, and their predictions are infallible.

No more Monarchs! We want Constitutional butterflies. We don’t need butterflies carrying swords distributed by watery nymphs!

Don't get too excited. Their lifespan is very short...a few weeks.

Every winter....millions migrate to Mexico.

Now we will have a monarch pandemic. The global warming idiots will be shouting, “Monarchs are taking over! Run for the hills!” 🙄

Butterflies in general seem to be more numerous this year. A couple of months ago we were literally inundated with Queen butterflies here in Arizona. They are similar in appearance to Monarchs.

With open borders the country is being flooded with all kinds of bugs and vermin...

California? Maybe Monarch’s are drawn to the smell of those streets of San Francisco
