@ascentale @bikenite A8. Butterflies! More #MonarchButterfly s in our garden. They do seem to be more prevalent the last few years, after years of trying to attract them, but never seeing any. I try to remember where I see them out riding and report them to https://journeynorth.org but sometimes I forget where I was and their website is not very mobile friendly. #BikeNite

Another part of 🧵

Today’s update. Our statice are now about to host some cocoons. But the reducing supply of leaves on the swan plants seem to have convinced some of the larger caterpillars to do the right thing. And some caterpillars from our decoy plants have already got the message, 2 new cocoons, and one more happening now.

#Climatechange could threaten monarch mass migration
#Mexico’s suitable #monarchbutterfly overwintering habitat could shift south as climate changes in decades to come, researchers report in PLOS #Climate. That could lengthen an already arduous journey and increase the energy required to make the trip. That extra distance might push some individuals to stay in Mexico instead of continuing north, says Carolina Ureta, biologist at National Autonomous University of Mexico.

Climate change could threaten monarch mass migration
