Hi all, This is a reminder that it is a good time to survey for evidence of Monarch activity and report it. Mission Monarch (mission-monarch.org) is the site to input your information. There are instructions, information and data input available on their webpage. This coming week is the International Monarch Monitoring Blitz: July 27th – August 4th 2019. But surveying can be done anytime before and after. The Monarchs will be here into September. Yesterday, I did another survey of Monarchs in our 2 hectare field and saw over 30 adults. Among them were three pairs coupled. The females are very active laying eggs. In a small survey of small common milkweed plants Alison and I collected 25 Monarch eggs and two small larvae. In comparing activity this year with last, the larvae seem to be behind by 7-10 days. Last year there were more large larvae seen in the fields than we see now. Good hunting.
