    A cluster of overwintering monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) in Santa Cruz county.  In 2020, a count in November  registered less than 2000 individuals, down from 300,000 a few years ago, and many millions decades ago.  Experts fear that they may vanish entirely and soon. We can try to help them by planting native nectar plants and conserving habitat.  Hopefully this was not one of the last years of the monarch aggregations in Santa Cruz.
