This was my second Monarch sighting for this year(my first sighting was the day before). I observed an adult Monarch feeding off of purple coneflowers in a neighborhood garden. The Monarch engaged in some territorial squabbling with another butterfly, a fritillary. This was a HUGE patch of coneflowers in full bloom and there were other butterflies and bees present as well.
