I believe that the Monarchs are in Florida year round. At least that has been my experience. Though they are more abundant in Spring and Fall.

Something else that I have noticed. When I raise a lot of them, it seems like the first couple of days of emerging butterflies - they are all males. And then several days later they are mostly females.

This photo is of a male I just released this morning. I when I got home from work, another male had emerged. I have one more chrysalis and a cat in the "J" currently. I have 4 more small cats, so we'll see what gender they are.
