Monarch Final Numbers for 2013

It is probably safe to say that Monarch Butterfly season is officially over in Mid-Michigan.  Back on August 23rd, I wrote about finding our first three Monarch caterpillars for the year.  Little did I know that those would be the only three caterpillars we would find this year.  I would only see six adults this year.  Compare those numbers to these photos from 2010.
