2022 Monarch Butterfly Update

[Weatherman2020]

Monarch butterflies are not designed to fly distances. Rain and wind make flying difficult if not impossible. Yet starting on a mountain in Mexico and another in California they fly north every year. Three generations later they reach Canada later that summer. Then one generation will fly south back to that same mountain in Mexico or California. Four generations of butterflies each year and they know exactly where to go. Scientists have captured Monarchs in the Midwest, flown them to the east coast, marked and released them. Only to find them later on that mountain in Mexico.
They know where to go. And we don’t have a clue how or why they do it. And it ain’t evolution.

Well, the ‘experts’ said they were going extinct so of course this years population is 100X larger than last year in California, 35% larger in Mexico. I blame Gorebal Warming.

Our place in Junction was smack dab in the middle of the migration path of the Monarchs on their way to Mexico.
We had huge oak and pecan trees on the place and the Monarchs would cover the trees like leaves. And that no exageration.
It was one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
