The monarchs for the past three weeks have been behaving differently. We tag and release and few are seen again. The ones we tagged and released between November and late February would be seen again for days, sometimes for weeks. Now might be sighted within a few hours again but seldom the next day anymore. All movement has been from south to southwest heading north to northeast. We are beginning to notice "loading" of eggs of the wild Asclepias viridis that we have been observing this week 7 miles west of Port Lavaca.
