I was bicycling from New Castle, Indiana to New Palestine and back, mostly along State Road 40 from 9AM to 5PM. During my 82 mile ride I saw 42 monarch butterflies. None of them were nectaring although there was ample goldenrod along the roadsides. Fifteen of them were dead having been hit by cars. I did;t see any tags. The rest were flying, generally parallel to the roads - either west or south. For the last two years I rarely saw any monarchs along this route.
