I have an invasion of painted ladies butterflies. When I saw this monarch I went for my camera. It is twice the size of the smaller ones and I have not seen them in my yard. I didn’t get a perfect picture but I did get a couple.
As we traveled to the north shore and when we returned we saw many monarchs. I am sure the car took a lot of them out. I-35 has large areas of meadows on both sides of the road in its ditches. There was a sign put up along the way saying that it was the major route for the monarch migration. They were fluttering across the highway as the cars passed by them. I am glad that this one has survived the trip so far. The butterfly weed is its favorite plant.
