Paul Cherubini said "A loss of a few thousand monarchs from the spray
incident is trivial in relation to the many millions of monarchs in
Minnesota this year."

Paul: how do you know it is trivial? Or that there were only a few thousand
dead Monarchs? If a street sweeper was used to clean up those on the roads,
tens or hundreds of thousands seems more likely.

Also, how many other towns are spraying for mosquitos in Minnesota? If a
hundred towns are spraying with similar effects on Monarchs, then the "few
thousand" becomes a "few hundred thousand", or a million or more.
