Discussion this morning in an office meeting about seeming lack of Monarchs this year in Vermont. It appears to be true - 404 – Page Not Found | Vermont Atlas of Life. Just 34 records and most come from eButterfly. I have onlly seen two I think. Now, it could be that July/August are a phenomenal month for productivity and all is fine for the migration, but we shall see!
It was interesting to read this. It had also struck me that I was seeing few Monarchs, and that now our Common Milkweed patch is very much post-bloom. But I have been seeing a couple in the past day or 2 (not posted to e-Butterfly yet), so perhaps they’re just a bit off-schedule for us.
