Joe Pye Weed...

Good morning everyone. I thought I'd keep it simple today with just a single pic of a male Monarch (Danaus plexippus) nectaring on Joe Pye Weed. Around the time I took this (in late July) the numbers of Monarchs began to increase significantly. Presently I'm seeing more than I have the past two or three seasons, which can mean only one thing...a strong migration in terms of numbers beginning in the next month or so.

 

Thank you for stopping by...and I hope you're having a truly nice week.
