Lo que parecía una salida prematura por parte de las mariposas en esta temporada nos sorprende nuevamente, y hasta el día de hoy sigue habiendo una pequeña colonia, con alrededor de unos 5 árboles cubiertos de mariposas. A pesar de ser pocas, pero son aún muy atractivas a la vista de quienes podemos verlas.

What seemed like an early departure from the butterflies this season, surprises us again. Until today, there is still a small colony with around 5 trees covered with butterflies. Even though there are a few of them, the butterflies are still very attractive for people, who get to see them.

Dear Western Monarch Friends,
Citizen scientists are now reporting eggs and larvae as monarchs move further inland across California. Early emerging milkweeds are playing an important role as monarchs disperse across the state. Rain graced the California coast this week, recharging milkweed and flowers along the migration route.

Progress has slowed since last week's update. This is no surprise as migration can be a stop-and-go journey with wind and weather in control. On the northern edge, there were a few more reports in Oklahoma and Arkansas. On the eastern edge, monarchs are making their way up the South Carolina coast. And many monarchs are funneling through Texas.

Dear friends,
“Go, please go! Hurry up! Go north! There you go! Hush!”
This remaining population of monarchs keep experts seriously concerned. The monarchs don't seem to be in a hurry to start their long journey north as the temperatures reach 22 to 25 degrees Celsius.

Dear Western Monarch Friends,
The time has finally come for monarchs to leave the California coast and spread their wings to recolonize the West. Sighting reports become scarce as they disperse far and wide, mating and laying eggs as they go. This week’s reports were centered in California as monarchs were seen migrating east from the coast. New shoots of emerging milkweed are also appearing to greet them on their journey.
