I observed many dozens of adult monarchs flying and nectaring on goldenrod. I also observed some mating, as evidenced in the attached photo of a mated pair. The milkweed in the area is completely senesced, so the female will not have anywhere locally to lay eggs.

I didn’t observe any Painted Lady butterflies.
