EventMonarch Fall Roost
Date of Sighting08/21/04
CommentsMonarchs are gathering at Tom and Julie Murphy's farm in Cannon Falls, Minnesota, but in smaller numbers than past years. The Murphys attract thousands of butterflies every fall by planting the monarch's *favorite* nectar source, Liatris.

"You can do this too," says Tom Murphy. "Just plant Liatris and they will come!"

See "Taggging Monarchs With the Murphys."
