Number: 100

Saturday night (10/18) I was returning home to the Eastern Shore via the Bay Bridge Tunnel after attending a conference in Suffolk, Va.
I made a brief stop at the Grill on Seagull Island and found the buildings next to the parking lot covered in Monarchs, there were quite a few flying in the still air on the downwind side of the buildings and I can say that there were many large groupings of many dozens of insects clinging to the brickwork. I couldn't get any real count, it was getting very dark as the weather was getting really cruddy.
There were many more than I have seen in one place since I was young, I was very impressed by the sight and was very glad
that they found a place of refuge before the storm.
