I belong to several butterfly forums The Monarch butterflies are really hurting this year. Numbers are way down in Mexico. If this keeps up the Monarchs may be gone by 2050. They are major pollinators. What is happening? Other pollinators hurting also - bees, moths, bats. Other butterfly species are also hurting.

I am going to start Master Gardener classes 2/12 and will ask UF's smart ones what is going on with monarchs. I had several visit my milkweeds last year but no hatches...

After frost I plan on cutting the milkweed down to ground. That way growth refreshes and plant grows fuller

Off to a Great Start!
What a smashing start for this club. Thanks so much to the organizers. I counted 57 people. Here's a photograph. The program was fantastically varied and allowed several of our veteran lepidopter-o-philes to share their expertise.

Butterfly club meeting this Thursday at Canal Street Rec Ctr from 2-4
There is a big movement from Monarch Watch to plant milkweed across the U.S. Without milkweed there will not be any Monarchs. Migration to Mexico was way done this last season. Would like a source for buying milkweed other than Lowe's or Home Depot and something other than Tropical Milkweed.
