Adult Monarch, female in my Peoria, AZ pollinator garden, nectaring long on Gregg's Blue Mistflower, Zinnia and Red Bird-of-Paradise. Appeared fresh with no damage, weather change in progress: first seen 1:30pm, initially sunny, temperatures in mid 80's, light breeze. Front came through, winds picked up, temperatures dropped into mid 70's but she continued nectaring while clinging to swaying blossoms about 5:30pm. All other butterflies including numerous Queens & Sulphurs had already taken shelter, she was still on Blue Mistflower.
