so magical to see all these butterfly

The first roost I noticed was October 3rd. they are still roosting as of today October 9.

I think I many more than this (105).

They were roosting in Pecan, Texas Mountain Laurel, Nellie R Stevens Holly, Pine, Live Oaks.

Nectar sources included Lantana, Petunia, Yucca , and some other plants that are still in bloom. Also, my husband had some sprinklers going and many of them got a good drink of water of the blades of grass.

They are shielded from the wind. They are on the south side of my property where we have trees and the neighbor has a brick fence and even more trees.
