Monarch Butterfly Concern about this species. We had 50% less come through San Antonio this past year. They used to be so thick you could stand in the street and see and feel them passing by. I missed that this year. Danaus plexippus,Geotagged,Monarch butterfly,United States,Winter Click/tap to enlarge

    We never had densities like you have, but we also have fewer monarchs than previous years. Sad. Posted 5 years ago
