The monarchs are still flying about and roosting today by the hundreds and hundreds, perhaps a thousand. They have been here since August 15. I have been a Monarch Waystation for 2 years and have plenty of common milkweed, swamp milkweed and blooming flowers for their food. Today, I observed several larvae (caterpillars) feeding vigorously on the swamp milkweed, which seems to be their favorite.

Sept 9:
All of the Monarch butterflies have now left my Monarch Waystation site as of Monday, September 3, 2018, to continue their journey south.
