We've had an usual Fall and Winter - still have monarchs. Since early November we only have had adults, but today (January 4) a female monarch that enclosed on 12/30/11 started laying eggs on every milkweed she could find in the yard. I still have 12 chrysalises. The monarchs are nectaring on tithonia, zinnias and milkweed flowers. Many monarchs are around town despite a light frost about 3 weeks ago. Daytime temperatures are in the upper 60's and low 70's while night temps dip into the upper 30's.
