Letter: What is happening out there?

To the Editor:

So far this summer, I have seen only one monarch butterfly, two giant swallowtails, two tiger swallowtails, no mourning cloaks, no red admirals, and just a few White or Yellow Sulfers. And I see no evidence of monarch caterpillars on milkweed plants and hardly any oak and cherry tree leaves show any signs of other pollinator’s larvae. This is really concerning.
