This were 2 Adult Traveling Female Monarch spotted 9/14/14 by me in the Moline Garden Club Flower Garden as I checked on my Monarch#5's welfare (after 36 degree night after release 9/13/14).
Note: Both were observed together and one may have been my Super Monarch#5 released 9/13/14, 24 hrs prior, but still reporting as unsure as they could be part of the peak Migration and the fact of Monarch#5 great survival feat to date. The other Monarch definitely was not mine by appearance. Both were feeding in the Flower Garden for well over an hour, only 1-2 hours after clearing sky and temperatures rose from the lows that dipped to 36 degrees, now at 62 degrees when spotted.
