I’ve not seen any #monarch #butterflies so far this spring but they’ve obviously been here. Spotted these two monarch #caterpillars yesterday on the one milkweed in my front #garden, a survivor that has regrown after dying back to the soil following our big winter freeze. Hope these make it to adulthood, the ones I saw last year disappeared before pupating.

Saving the Monarchs by Jaime Rojo

A latecomer attempts to squeeze in between other monarch butterflies for warmth, at El Rosario Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary, a migratory overwintering spot within the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve in Michoacán, Mexico. Most of the eastern population of monarch butterflies overwinter in the reserve.
