Today was a beautiful day, in the low 70's with a very brisk SW wind. I had a couple of Monarchs in the yard and tagged them. Then I visited Harkness Park again and there were hundreds. They have a beautiful cutting garden with lots of flowers still in bloom. The Monarchs were on an assortment of flowers, but they were really thick on the tall cutting dahlias. Especially the single yellow and white ones.
I tagged over 30. It was so easy, I didn't need a net, just gently plucked them off the flowers, tagged and released..no stress at all! Maryann From Gardenweb Butterfly Forum
