Wow! An 8th new monarch butterfly this year, emerged Oct. 8, stayed overnight 'til Oct. 9 ... then wasn't seen by evening, so must have flown away. This one was a male; when first seen, his wings were still not fully open yet, but a bit late he was seen opening and closing them ... and the rear wing spots were visible. Took 3 photos, am including the clearest one. High Oct. 8 was 18.4 C, and Oct. 9 was 11.4 C; low both nights was 0 C. But thankfully, sunny, clear skies Oct. 9 a.m. may have helped.
