This morning there are 4 adult monarchs in my backyard hanging around the blue mist flowers and the milkweed. They look fresh - unmarred, picture perfect. Leads me to think they might be two of our caterpillars. I have found no roosts this year and must have missed the largest gathering, as we were gone October 2-14. That's when they usually are the biggest numbers. There are also two eggs on the milkweed, which seems to be having a rebirth with the temps going up again. They will likely not make it. There's another cold front on the way.
