Monarch (Danaus plexippus)(f) They are almost at the Wintering grounds...

Got a Monarch here today. Its one of those perfect days when nature is holding her breath before winter. It went down to 38F last night.. so it wont be long before the first frosts.

Every time I think I have seen the last.. another comes ! Less and less to feed on now. This lady was on the remaining scruffy Zinnia's ! Temps at night are dropping now and it cant be long before the first frost here. Fly south Little One's !

Would have been nice with a prettier background but what the heck.. getting these just to SIT is a bonus !

EXPLORED !

Very beautiful Monarch. FWIW, I saw three Monarchs at the New York Botanical Garden on 10/25, so a few are lingering.
