IDI1NSwgMjU1LCAwKTsiPk1hcnkgKE1hY2F1bGF5KSwgUC5FbmcuPC9zcGFuPjwvZGl2Pg0KPGR Hello Larry: I saw a Monarch Butterfly in the Gibson Woods Rd area on Fri July 26 not far from the raspberry U-pick as I was heading to pick raspberries. It was flitting around and not perched. A Sulphur Butterfly was also in the vicinity. Always fascinating to see how you and Allison become so involved with your own property Monarchs. Such gorgeous creatures.

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. Larry -- Larry Bogan <larry@bogan.ca> Brooklyn Corner, Nova Scotia
