After seeing no Monarchs since late August, I was excited to spot this one.

25 C, no wind, clear skies and full sun.

This was sadly a meager summer for finding Monarch eggs or caterpillars, despite growing more milkweed than ever before, on our property.

Milkweed is now dying off and seeds are flying.

I noticed over the years that the Monarchs spent a lot of time nectaring on this butterfly busb despite lots of other bloom options in the yard.

2 captive raised caterpillars hatched and left around 8/30. I assume they were Supermonarchs since they did not stay around.
