Monarch Adult Sighted
Sightings report image

Date: 12/13/2021

Number: 1

Temp around 58-62F.
No visible tag.
Just sitting on my driveway. Put finger near, it climbed on.
Put it on my bush.
It stayed overnight. Tried to feed sugar water on morning of 14th.
Used about two tsp distilled water, 1/4 tsp refined sugar.

Not very active. Temp 63F, 100% humidity.

Seemed in good physical condition, but lethargic. Don’t know if it actually drank the water. Proboscis stayed dipped in for a bit, legs stayed folded under. After a bit the proboscis moved on its own, maybe it sipped? Then it curled up proboscis.
Tbh I don’t know what I’m doing, just watched a YouTube vid for help

Just shocked to see a monarch this late.
