Linda, I'm friends with Monarch Watch on Facebook. I didn't have time to read the whole article they posted but I do remember seeing a headline a few days ago about how the Monarchs left Mexico later than usual this year so that may be why you haven't seem them yet. And I've only had Gulf Frit cats for the last two weeks or so. I think the freeze we had around Feb 20 pushed a lot of things back. The timing of a lot of things seems "off" by a bit. Our official last frost date is Feb 15 so with the late freeze I think it just threw some things out of whack.
