I have lived in Rice Tx since 1984. I have never witnessed this many Monarchs passing through our area at one time. I stayed in the yard and observed the Monarchs flying around my Oak trees as dusk was coming the Monarchs chose their leaves to roost for the night. It was exciting to finally see another part of their journey. I started collecting Monarch caterpillars and raising them to butterflies as a young girl in Dallas, Tx., after witnessing some young caterpillars being killed by Red ants. I have always had a fondness for this creature and respect for its journey.
