EventMonarch Migration Sighting
Date of Sighting09/19/99
Comments The Monarchs are here in forceAfter Hurricane Floyd I am seeing 20 an hour. I tagged 12 females in 2 days. Only saw 2 males but couldn't get tags on them. All butterflies were in excellent condition and showing definate migration flight. An interesting observation made by my son Aaron. He caught a male "nectaring" on a cigarette butt....in a parking lot. He lost it while trying to get back to the car for a tag.
