Every tree used to be blanketed with them': photographer captures campaign to save monarch butterfly

[4lbs]

1. When I was a kid in the 1970s, we used to have Monarch butterflies everywhere in the summer.

As stated, many trees and bushes were "coated" with them, and there were larvae caterpillars all over for months before that, during the spring

Now, I am lucky if I see even one in the summer. I can't recall the last time I saw a caterpillar either. It hasn't been since the late 1990s that I saw a caterpillar.
