Observation notes:
I spotted this Monarch Butterfly – a female – at about 9:45 AM nectaring on some of our pink coneflowers. This is only the second Monarch Butterfly that we have seen this summer. (The first, on 7/19/24, was fluttering about some of our Common Milkweed, but did not stick around long enough to get a photo or determine its gender.)
At the time today the air temperature was 71°F, the dew point was 64°F, the humidity was 79%, the air was calm under fair skies with the air pressure at 28.67 inches and beginning to drop slowly.
