I saw a monarch flying in the pastures yesterday, so today I went to one of their favorite meadows to look. It was 11:30am, 85 degrees F, cloudy, with 73% humidity, and light winds from the SE. Sure enough there was this male monarch sailing around, patrolling the slim milkweed (Asclepias linearis) and green milkweed (Asclepias viridis) plants. He was the lone monarch I saw at that time, but there were quite a few Queen butterflies ~ also enjoying the nectar of the tiny slim milkweed blossoms.
