Bruce Parker

Bruce Parker 2 Monarch sightings November 1 and 5. Rather unusual at Lat 42/59'N Long 81/14' W near London, Ontario, Canada.

Christine Ronde Alderson

Christine Ronde Alderson absolutely loved talking with Prof Taylor at the Powell Gardens exhibit briefly this fall. I am a total newbie at all of this but am very intrigued. As a child I grew up near a huge eucalyptus grove FULL of monarchs during the fall, in Grover Beach, California. I miss it a lot. I wonder if it's anything like I remember??

Mike Lawler

Mike Lawler Will they make little monarch space suits for them, just in case? It would be interesting to see how a "crippled" monarch would fly in a weightless environment, like this one with one deformed wing.

WANTED: Schools and individuals (located in the U.S., east of the Rocky Mountains) to follow the development of monarchs on the International Space Station. We need to have you commit to this program by 5PM on Friday afternoon (November 6th) - sorry for the short notice...

This would be very interesting. The poor monarch - there were so very few here in Northern New York - I was quite depressed. I would love to follow the development of monarchs.

Cathy Cattle Glad to have found you on facebook, great way to stay connected with the watch. Tagged 100 again this year, but wondering what this flower is they seem to really go for it.

Monika Maeckle Late bloomers. These four cats were "rescued" from the Llano River near Mason, Texas and brought home for fattening up with some fresh milkweed. They JUST pupated and have a great chance of making it all the way to Angangueo, Mexico.

Bruce Parker

Bruce Parker Three 4th instar Monarch cats will be on the next space shuttle November 16. Their development will be monitored as they are transferred to the International Space Station. This is great news!!

Gillian This is to show Denny & Bruce who both kindly pointed out that I posted my picture of a Gulf Fritillary that I really do have Monarchs in my garden.
Unfortunately this pic is really fuzzy - it was so humid that the lens fuzzed over.

Sondra

Sondra Rescued a cold monarch on Friday from the playground at school, fed him and released him on our warm Sunday afternoon!

Kari

Kari Saw six Monarchs migrating south across the the salt water estuary while anchored in the Cape Romain (north of Charleston, South Carolina) today. They came by one by one over in an hour's span. Two of the Monarchs were accompanied by Sulfurs. Incredible.

Lesley-Anne I live in Muskoka, Ontario, Canada. I used to see tons of Monarchs when I was a kid. I was looking for a caterpiller to show my two year old this year and I couldn't find one. Maybe I was just looking at the wrong time.

Or wrong place. Anyway, populations of all leps are down, especially this year with a delayed egg laying season and milder spring and summer temps. Hope Monarch sightings are better for you in 2010.
