I saw one Monarch Adult Butterfly giving chase to another butterfly, which I later identified as a White Admiral or Red-spotted Purple Butterfly. The Monarch Butterfly disappeared, but the Red-spotted Purple Butterfly stuck around to nectar on the Butterfly Bush. I took a video of the Red-spotted Purple Butterfly trying to nectar and holding on while the wind was blowing the Butterfly Bush all around. I am amazed at how strong butterflies are because they look so fragile.
