It's never just one thing is it. It's like the perfect storm of bad things for these creatures. Remember the terrible rains a few years ago in those Mexico forests?

I'll have to check my data from Butterfly monitoring to see if there are any trends the last 4 years besides BAD. 2010 was a good year. Last summer not so great but the year before was terrible.

I decided to post some pix from 2010. Miss them!
