Amanda...Send her a link showing the beautiful creature she killed. Then ask her to think twice next time!

MrsEd..I wouldn't think of only having nectar plants, I feel I am creating an opportunity for the species to thrive. Also by no pesticide on mine, unlike the farmers and some homeowners.

On the counting, I don't keep records myself. However I have made videos of the multitude of queens on MW, or RA and QMs that are parked on a rotten banana. You can't see them all over the yard at the same time, but they will usually be in the same areas over and over. When I tag Monarchs I go from the backyard patches of Frostweed (pic-blk spec are Monarchs) and Blue mistflower to the front blue mist; then back again. Catch one go inside tag and out the other door always usually late afternoon. Got my tags ready for this year, hope I get to use them all.
