19 monarchs released between 9/16-10/7/2019.

54 healthy monarchs released so far this year.

29 chrysalis and 5 cats that will e-close by the end of October.

There are several cats on my milkweed plants. However, I haven't seen any beyond 4-instar. Found several in my garden that died... most likely tachinid fly, which has been a problem this year. Still finding eggs and 1-instar on milkweed... my milkweed patch will be completely decimated by the end of October 2019.

The monarchs aren't hanging around my garden as much. I hope they are heading to the coast!
