Re: Found a very weird looking moth
I have a good mail order supplier in Florida and ordered 30 seedlings, plus bought two nice more mature plants from a garden shop locally. All of them have been planted and probably just in the nick of time. There has been at least one report of a Monarch sighting here in Justin. I haven't seen any yet but I'm still hopeful. It just needs to warm up and clear up weather wise.
Monarchs typically start northward around the middle to the end of March. Reports say that they've been seen as far as Arkansas already.

Re: Found a very weird looking moth
I haven't seen a single one yet and a frost came through that may have killed all of my seedlings. I'm not in the least bit happy.

Re: Found a very weird looking moth
I can typically order it most any time. The problem is having spare money. I still haven't seen a single Monarch.

This site has the latest sitings data...
CLICK the "This seasons Sightings"...then scroll down to "Monarch: adult"....Press here....
That link could come in handy for you. Seems some are seeing them in certain parts of Texas. Maybe you'll be seeing them soon.

Re: Found a very weird looking moth
I am no longer without Monarchs. The first two were seen on the same day, the 12th. There is also milkweed growing in multiple locations. It just kind of sneaked up on me.

Better to have things sneaking UP on you, rather than things sneaking OUT on you...

Re: Found a very weird looking moth
I agree. It turns out that not all of those seedlings died. Some of them came back from the root. Yay. I'm pretty sure that some of the seeds have sprouted too.
