I’ve had at least 3 Monarch hanging around my garden in New Orleans any sunny day since I returned after the storms……..Around the 1st of October. I’ve got about five ready to pupate caterpillars on my milkweed right now and eggs on almost every leaf…….. Several other people across the city have commented about this. The big question here seems to be “where did they go during the storms?”

My sister from Pensacola reported that about a week after Ivan hit there one of her neighbors put up a humming bird feeder and was immediately mobbed by both hummers and butterflies (the storm blew off all the flowers). I have to send them sugar for a month until their stores were restocked and re opened.
