thanks guys. I have had Monarchs here, one possibly two, at a time but not 
as many as I would like to see of course. Thursday I discovered  I have 
fresh eggs on a plant here so went off in search of more plants (mine have 
just about finished producing the seed pods). I found plants at a nursery in 
Hebbville. I bought a few and am hoping that will see things through.
We have quite a few of the Painted/American ladies and Wood nymphs. Sadly I 
have yet to see a Mourning Cloak. They used to be here by the hundreds when 
the apples dropped. They had drunken parties in our back yard.
Larry the cuttings you gave us last year have done really well,  as have the 
seeds. just are done for the season.

James, Thanks for the note on Monarchs.
I walked my field today and found only three Monarchs whereas last week we 
saw 8-10 Monarchs in a similar walk. I figured the Monarchs are leaving to 
head south.

We have released over one hundred now but still have over fifty being 
raised, mostly in the chrysalis stage. We still see new 'wild' ones coming 
out of the milkweed field also and noted many large caterpillars there.
