A female adult monarch, my first monarch sighting in my small native milkweed prairie.
Wings looks in good condition but pale in color, so she might be a migrating monarch.
Landed on an antelope horn milkweed plant to lay egg, then kept flying and fluttering before landing on different milkweed patches. She was fluttering around and landed on selected milkweed patches for about a half hour before she finally flew away from my milkweed. I have 18 antelope horn milkweed patches but only a few that got her attention, probably looking for ideal spot to lay her eggs.
