Monarch Fall Roost

Date: 09/24/2020

Number: 500

This is the second time this week I saw a roost as well as nectaring Monarchs at this same location, a private residence near 37th st and Lake Shawnee in Topeka, Ks. I also reported a sighting at this address on Monday. The property owner told me they have been roosting all week. This is the second year Monarchs have used this spot for a fall roost. It is an extremely well protected site with an Osage Orange Hedge along the street to the North plus Spruce and Pine trees as well as Viburnums, Arborvitaes and Redbuds. Their roost is protected on the South by the House.

The Monarchs are roosting in mature maple trees and actively gathering nectar from a large purple aster as well as other flowers in the property owners garden.
