Monarch Adult Sighted

Date: 07/27/2021

Number: 1

Sighted monarch flying among yard trees but did not get photo. I saw first between houses (narrow way with trees) then ran outside. Nectared on swamp milkweed (that I saw) and did not appear to lay eggs. Was in yard for at least 30 seconds I estimate.
I think it was one of the males I released here recently. Those were raised from eggs laid on my showy milkweed in the yard (registered Monarch Waystation).

Incidentally - I posted an inquiry to MextDoor app yesterday asking for sightings of monarchs - received many responses, but some I know or suspect are swallowtails. No good photos yet, just anecdotal (at 2300 and Parley's way last week, etc.). Thought I would mention this as the app is clearly reaching many folks who do not do other social media.
