From about 6:00 p.m. to 7:15 p.m. yesterday evening we observed at least 2 to 300 hundred Monarchs flying into our yard and roosting in our Sycamore and Oak tree. There were definitely more in the sycamore tree. It is now 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday the 9th and so far they are still all there.

An additional comment on the butterflies we observed yesterday. They were trailing strands of what looked like spiderweb. Does anyone know what that is and/or why the butterflies are doing that? Please respond at this site if you know about this phenomenon or have also seen this.
