Thank you for yet another of your beautiful photos of nature in and around TV. When we first came here the Monarch was all over our garden, now it is a rare sight to see this incredible butterfly.

Beautiful! My grade 2 students used to collect fat monarch caterpillars to watch them go into their cocoons and emerge later. Absolute magic! Then we followed their migration on the internet to Mexico for the winter.

However beautiful the Monarch is their #s are declining due impart to road side spraying
Milkweed that thrives along roadsides is being deleted over this practice
