October special: monarch butterflies

105 monarchs seen Oct 11-Oct 24 vs 121 in 2025

That's fewer than last year, so a monarch would be a lucky find.

Monarch butterflies reported within 25 km in the 14 days before today (Oct 11-Oct 24): 105 (iNaturalist, checked Oct 26, 12:17 AM CDT). Same two weeks last year (Oct 11-Oct 24, 2025): 121.

Milkweed seen near this park: yes (228 iNaturalist sightings within 1.5 km, all years).

Tip: look on milkweed and on fall flowers on a sunny afternoon. Look, don't touch: let it fly.
