Summary:
Monarch butterflies may be named for their large size and majestic beauty, but once again their numbers are anything but king-sized. In fact, 2014 may go down as one of the worst years ever for the colorful insects, says a Monarch watcher. It's been a disturbing trend that has been going for most of the past decade, he points out.
