		<description>Hi Chip,

Thanks for the informative explanation on the decline in the Monarch population this past year.  In the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, we saw no Monarchs...at least those folks that I talked with hadn&#039;t seen any all summer or later.  I&#039;ve lived here three years and I&#039;ve noticed that the resident butterfly populations start out the season in large numbers portending a great year for butterflies, but then quickly disappear once the dismal summer weather starts: ie. rain and cold.  I&#039;ve yet to experience a nice summer in these parts.

Nonetheless, I will pass your explanation on to our website question &amp; answer page.

Thanks!</description>
