Mid-Coast of TX: More Monarchs (local over-winterers) seen flying within a mile of home. Four new larvae and 3 new eggs. Leaving these on the A. curassavica plants in backyard -- running out of A.c. leaves at school -- have started 28 new cuttings! One of these larvae (10 mm long) crawled from leaves at base of plant 60 cm up to the leaves at the tip of a stem. A Monarch (from backyard egg) emerged at school, 4th grade has tagged, and will release tomorrow. Five more in chrysalids ready to emerge. Harlen
