Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus)

Larose Forest

This is one of 15 monarchs I saw today, along with 80+ monarch caterpillars. These flowers are some of the few remaining, many plants are now sporting seedpods. It seems only yesterday the milkweeds were beginning to flower and now.... where has summer gone?

At least our long cold spring has given us lush abundant plant growth including tons of milkweed for these beautiful Monarchs.
