I've seen several monarchs along the South Carolina Coastal zone and Coastal Plan over the past few weeks. All of the butterflies were very faded and could have wintered well south of SC, possibly even Mexico(?). My best guess is that the tail end of the northward migration passed through the SC Coastal Zone & Coastal Plain over the past few weeks.
