Okay, it’s been far too long since I’ve written. And I promised myself I wouldn’t be that person!, that I’d keep up with this thing. To make it less intimidating for myself to catch up on the last three or four weeks (oh dear!), I’m going to do a series of short posts. I apologise to those with RSS feeds.
So, even though I’ve heard that the monarchs come in March to Michoacan, there’s been a definite influx of monarch butterflies here in Queretaro in the last week or two. There’s a park I walk through on my way to and from work every day and lately the trees have been filled with monarchs. The leaves are also going slightly yellow/orange, so sometimes it’s hard to tell from a distance, but then they’ll all start to fly and there will be a small flock (herd? pride?) of monarchs in the air. It’s not like the place is covered in them, but it’s way more than I’ve ever seen in one place before. Maybe two hundred in this one park? It’s a pretty cool sight, to see all these monarchs hanging about and flying through the air over your head. I hope we get more of them closer to March.
