We have a few (4 to 6 a day) monarchs moving from the northeast along the middle Texas Gulf Coast towards the southwest. All have been in good shape with about 2 weeks of fade and little tatter. Females are depositing 20 to 30 eggs a day on backyard milkweed. We will releasing about 500 "coastal monarchs of Texas" over the next 7 days. They will be tagged AND wing marked with the letter "V" if released in Victoria or the last numeral of the day ... males odd and females even ... if released in Port Lavaca. Schools to the south of Victoria along the Texas coast please be on the lookout for these monarchs.
