I began seeing Monarchs in August, but at first I mistook them for Painted Ladies until I used Google to identify them side by side. I estimate seeing 5 of these starting in August 2025 before realizing they were actual Monarchs. I hadn’t seen any Monarchs since we moved to this area in 2014. We moved to this house in 2023. We planted several bushes to attract hummingbird's and those bushes have now fully matured. I counted at least 5 different species of butterflies and moths over this summer. I will be on the lookout for more and report in 2026!
