Flying circles around 1/2 acre yard. I ran in and got my camera. She came to land on the SAME evergreen her parents took off from, last fall! She rested on the evergreen for awhile, and let me get a picture of her. The picture doesn't reflect it, but she is a brightly colored newer adult. She began to fly around flower area, landed on milkweed, thought she was laying eggs, I checked - but no. She was just checking out which plants are milkweed, same as last year's adult. I think she needs to find her mate now.
