What is the story about the monarch? Didn't we used to see them in good numbers every year? No so much anymore.
Looking at the photos, they're like bats, but beautiful!!

Isn’t it the Monarch that requires milkweed as a food source? Used to see those all over the place in rural pastures but we all know suburban expansion has obliterated a ton of those.
