Yeah, I haven't been seeing Monarchs for some time now, though just in the past few weeks I saw both a Queen (Danaus gilippus, a relative of the Monarch) and two Snout-Nosed butterflies (Libytheana bachmanii, another migratory species).

Not sure why, but this season does seem to have more butterflies than usual, at least locally. So maybe it's not just Monarchs.
