There were thousands of dragonflies and monarch butterflies that swarmed into the pecan grove where we live and cruised for about 20 minutes. The monarchs then covered the ends of limbs, folding their wings and becoming still, hangling mostly upside down. The dragonflies stayed airborne until dark and then settled in the grove also-- approx 7pm central 10/5

Editor’s note: We have contacted the observer to confirm 10/05 is the night the roost formed.
