Number: 100

100's arrived on my property about 2 weeks ago feeding on my watermelon rinds and raspberry flowers. I counted 28 on one yellow doll watermelon rind at the peak. Now no more than 5 per rind have been counted. I presume the rain last weekend drove most south. About 100 remain now.

These definitely are not painted lady. The white peripheral wing dots are more consistent with viceroy vs. monarch but I could not find one with the transverse black line of the viceroy.
