We’ve seen big differences in various birds and bugs numbers along our migratory flyway over the years, the cycles are interesting. The varmints vary a lot in numbers too.
Let’s hope that monarchs have more sense than the Democrats who are running so many of these types of failed cities. Minneapolis, Portland, San Fransicko, Seattle (my home town), and so forth.
I’m in FL and seeing 10x more bees than I have in the last few years.
The news report explains how they count them and that there are several people counting.
First thing I said when they explained how they counted was, “Instead of counting clusters hurriedly, why not take pictures and then count them later?”
Keep the reports coming!
If any others have never seen over-wintering Monarchs in the trees, it is truly an amazing sight!
I didn’t know that they overwintered near Pismo! Another location to visit.
Pacific Grove and Ardenwood in Fremont, CA are also great spots to see the Monarchs.
Sure sign of a large earthquake coming.
"Researchers also say global climate change and warming is the real culprit as to why these monarchs are in decline." —Monarch butterfly population declining, Fox 17, 7.28.21.
Weather modification programs producing a dry winter and drought to blame everybody for their standard of living.
I’m in York PA, and this Spring/Summer/Fall, I saw around 5-6 Monarchs, instead of the usual 30+. Very unusual.
Herbicides and pesticides aren’t. Around here, the lawn mowing companies spray that crap like there’s no tomorrow.
For 23yrs, 1989-2012, when I owned and ran my 20ac Nursery/ Garden Center/ Landscape Contracting Operation, we used IPM (Integrated Pest Management) using praying mantis, ladybugs and NO pesticides or herbicides.
Obviously the climate is getting better than it ever was.
Time to stop these stupid attempts to “stop climate change.”
How’s the Pussycat Swallowtail doing? That was my favorite.

You stirred my memory- I have heard that before…..
If you fry them up they taste like monarch chips.
