Cloudless Sulfur Late Season Migration
Cloudless Sulfur migration coincides with that of the Monarchs, something I observed with representatives of both species nectaring at flowers in my garden within the last few days. Cloudless Sulfurs have long tongues that can reach nectar inside many tubular flowers which other butterflies cannot access. They seem to prefer red flowers, fortunately despite recent frosts my red salvias are still thriving, providing nourishment for this butterfly on her long journey to the south.
