Congratulations Larry on such wonderful work and results.
Coincidentally yesterday Heather told me that just before she left for work
a Monarch appeared in our yard between 9:00 and 10:00 am.
It was trying to land on our butterfly bushes but a smaller butterfly kept
chasing it off. ( A or P Lady is my guess- they have both been around)
The Monarch made a brief fly by when I got home at 6:30 - just long enough
for me to identify it.
This is the first Monarch for our yard list.
I will keep an eye out and camera ready today in case it should reappear.
My guess is it is one of yours.
Best, Ron Wilson
Somerset.
