Arrived to work where I park in an underground parking lot. Someone found and deposited a dead Monarch Butterfly on top of the garbage bin near the building entrance. The Monarch didn't have one single blemish on it and it appeared to have died very recently. I carried it to my office and placed it on some moist soil of a potted plant, wings splayed. As the day wore on, the wings moved up making me think it was still alive. But it was not, sadly.
