J7, nice to hear that you have butterfly visitors. The Silver spotted skippers have been abundant here this year. One shows up in my backyard and ovipost eggs on a young black locust. Yesterday at a nearby creek, I saw one along with a lady Diana frit, red banded hairstreak, and snowberry clearwing on a button bush. Have to show everyone the bird, a Painted bunting, on the road to the creek.
All you folks raising and caring for Monarchs are wonderful stewards of nature. Monarchs have a future.
