EventMonarch Migration Sighting
Date of Sighting09/21/99
CommentsThe wind shifted out of the North this morning (10-15 mph). I sighted a nectaring monarch at 9:30 a.m. and another at 11:30 a.m. Both were moving south. While inspecting milkweeds I found a larva in its fourth instar. I'm wondering how long it took for the catepillar to reach this stage. If it took a month, that means there were monarchs here in August. Where did they come from? Is there a population here year-round?
