On Sunday March 28th, lots of monarchs were seen cruising over fields and prairies in central Texas. We saw twelve on Sunday and one on Friday. (Saturday was mostly cloudy and butterflies were not flying.) Most seemed to be females who were searching for host plants (milkweed). Most were in surprisingly good condition. The central Texas host, the antelope horn milkweed (Asclepias asperula), was up and in flower.
