I think they said that it wasn't unusual to have fluctuations from year to year in the butterfly population here. I don't recall what the factors related to the fluctuation were though. I have seen alot more honey bees this year. That has to be a good sign. Take care.

Strange. You know, now that you’ve mentioned it, I haven’t seen many butterflies either this summer, and I have a garden filled with lantana, verbena, and other butterfly plants. Strange.
