This was the first sighting all season. We have a budlea bush near our front porch. We have seen no large butterflies prior to last weekend when we saw two double-tailed swallowtails. So today I was thrilled to see my first monarch. Usually, I see several throughout the season. Our house is on the Jersey shore. I don't think Hurricane Sandy had an effect because it was so late in the season last year, but who knows?
