Monarch On Asters


When I am outside, I look for the monarchs. They are sadly and worryingly rare this year. The milkweed pods have not yet opened but the asters are blooming. I watched this monarch for a good long time, fluttering from flower to flower, with no companions in sight. Thank goodness for those who plant sustenance for the butterflies. Perhaps their efforts will help the monarch population to grow.
