Another monarch influx of migrants coming in to nectar again. Clear, cool, 70o F and 64% relative humidity at 12:50PM . Most caught on the Verbena patch, later in afternoon, several on the Buddleias.  All caught while nectaring.  It is interesting, the Verbena grows next to the Asclepias syriaca patch, the milkweeds are post flower, mature and  healthy but the monarchs show no interest in them at all.  The migratory / nectaring behavior seems to take over.
