Earlier today (9/10/17 at 1:18 PM) I reported having briefly spotted a Monarch butterfly zipping westward above the ramp here at University Park Airport (SCE) in State College, PA., riding a 7 mph tailwind coming from 50 degrees east of north.
Later this afternoon (about 2:30 PM) I spotted what I’ll assume was a different Monarch butterfly. This one was flitting low and close to the terminal – probably to avoid the breeze from the east – in a generally eastward direction. Definitely not headed toward Mexico.
At that time the sky was still mostly sunny, albeit maybe a bit cloudier than earlier, with:
