Are there a lot of monarch butterflies in Hawaii and Australia....do they overwinter there?

Just FYI...I'm working on a simple monarch butterfly photo book and chose a Monarch Butterfly Caterpillar Eating Milkweed Photo as my profile photo for my Artwork Sales Website.

Also....Feel free to Run with the following idea.

I have unilaterally declared the creation of a NO ORGANIZATION ORGANIZATION.

The 2025 2026 2027 INTERNATIONAL ARTIST'S CAMPAIGN TO SAVE THE MONARCH BUTTERFLY THRU ART FRAGRANT FLOWERS MILKWEED AND YOUR IDEA HERE. NO SIGN UP. NO FEES. NO EMAILS. (Plant some milkweed and flowers if you can. Make some art. Maybe buy some art.)

Love this!! I find the whole invasive vs. noninvasive’ management/conservation tactic tiring and shortsighted. Once again we want to mess with Nature and time and time again Nature reminds us She’s good without our intervention. This shows how ridiculous the argument is. Thank you for the time it took you to research it and thank you for sharing. Another brilliant piece. ❤️

i saw some monarchs today in mexico in a dried out riparian area in oaxaca as i was harvesting mule fat for friction fire. they were hiding in the humid enclave of the river bottom, my friend who is native here, says used to run more fully year round, even in the dry season, which is now.

Wonderful! I love disputing the harmful nativist propaganda. They sure don't go after the honeybees either.

I miss seeing monarchs. As a kid in Vermont, there was milkweed along the roadside and monarchs and swallowtail everywhere. In fact, I see alot less insects in general. Gone are the days of scraping bug juice off the windshields. Sad it is indeed
