[Ctleps-l] Monarchs

[Emmayct at cs.com]

Here in Niantic I have seen one Monarch every day in my yard for the last 
four days. They are different individuals since I have tagged them even 
though I know its a bit early for that. At least I will be able to see who's new 
in the yard. I have also seen a few Monarchs while driving about. I have 
really missed their beautiful Presence in my garden this year.

Lest you feel too sorry for me....
Today:

Red Banded Hairstreak
Giant Swallowtail reappearing several times
Female Black Swallowtail ovipositing
5 or more Pipevine swallowtails presumably my releases
Huge and beautiful Tiger Swallowtails
American Coppers
Cabbage Whites
Clouded Sulphurs
Skippers still..Sachem, pecks, tawny and a few darks ones I can't ID
More than a few Silver spotted Skippers

I'm also missing the Painted and American Ladies, and hope for Cloudless 
Sulphurs soon, but wow, how can I complain..
