I'm making this report because I spent a half hour examining a very significant patch of milkweed along Heart Lake Rd near its intersection with Rt 73 in North Elba, NY, and saw no signs of Monarch activity,...no signs of caterpillars having eaten the leaves, no adult Monarchs nctaring on flowering plants, etc. The weather was warm and aunny and the milkweed was in good shape. I made a similar examination last year at this site in mid July 2016 and likewise saw no caterpillars or Monarch adults. There are Monarchs in the Adirondacks but they seem not to find this field of milkweeds.
