We have a 3 acre meadow full of milkweed. Every year we see dozens of monarch caterpillars and raise many inside. We noticed none this summer (before September).
If seen 1, maybe 2 adults migrating in September.
Last summer 2012 was also troubling. We brought in 12 caterpillars, and all died. 10 died when a parasite larva hatched out of them, 1 unknown cause, and 1 was orangish.
