We usually have many out in our 2 acre field. Because of the drought we were concerned that the numbers would be fewer. It is the middle of July when I finally report this, and there are less than last year, but we have a good crop of milkweed, so I am hopeful that the Monarch butterfly population will increase.
We live adjacent to a cow pasture, and agricultural land, so the area is either chewed up or harvested. Elsewhere the neighbors are a mixed bag of a dozen houses with some mowed law was and mature oak and hickory woods. There are some gardens with flowers for the butterflies including mine.
