Our students spotted approximately 150 monarchs yesterday. The day began bright and sunny with temperatures approximately 81 degrees. However, over the course of the day it began to rain and did so throughout most of the evening. Most of the monarchs were spotted after school in the heat of the day. The temperatures dropped as the rain went through our region. Most of the monarchs were seen in flight while 40 were on flowering plants such as butterfly weed, butterfly bush, zinnias, and in cornfields. Some were seen sitting in warm places such as driveways, siding, decks, and grills.
