Monarch butterfly
Danaus plexippus
22.2903, -100.704
Field Notes
Description:
This Monarch butterfly is completely soaked from the big storm the nigh before and the continuous rain after that, I found a couple more on the ground unable to fly in danger of predators(photo #2). This is just to show how difficult is the Monarch migration. The Monarchs that managed to stay in the tree were waiting for sunshine to continue their trip south to their winter grounds (photo # 3). The next day was bright and clear.
Habitat:
Tall trees with foliage.
