It was such a treat to see the Monarch butterflies flitting about looking for food at Fort Hill. I only saw a couple of them this week but was able to get a pretty decent photograph.
Have you seen a Monarch butterfly this year?

“In my family monarch butterflies are daughters of fire. They come from the sun carrying the souls of warriors who fought and died in battle, and return to feed on the nectar of flowers.”

PS – the novel also addresses the “language of flowers”
I have been capturing and raising monarch caterpillars for a few years. Last year was a big one for me, as I successfully raised and released 40 butterflies. This year so far, I have only 6 caterpillars but haven’t seen any monarchs for a week or more. Not sure why they disappear like that. Any ideas ??
We have been for a few walks at Fort Hill the past couple of weeks and I haven’t seen any Monarchs in at least a week or more either. I have no idea why either… anyone else have any ideas?
