This beautiful female fed on our front yard butterfly bush for a few hours earlier today. Sadly, in the late afternoon, my husband found a single monarch wing lying on our sidewalk. I do not know what happened, but there was an active scrub jay in our yard the same afternoon. I checked my bush carefully for praying mantis, but saw none. Sending this report makes me sad.
