Small numbers of monarchs have been roosting each evening in a few spruce (some are Norwegian) and Black Locust trees for the last few days. Tonight there were twelve total, but they weren't all together. Small groups of two and three were in a few different trees on the same property. The property is surrounded by fields of corn, and there are very few nectar plants close by. Yet, the butterflies return year after year. Most often in small numbers, but occasionally by the hundreds.
