Overcast, 54 degrees. Curious to see what was still flying today, given how strong the flights have been in this area. Planning a more thorough survey tomorrow as the weather expected to be warmer and sunnier. Surprised to see no sulphurs of any type flying.

Sunny & warm 72 degrees, light winds Monarchs came flying in this AM with 18 by noon and ending with 7 still here. 2 Monarch cats and 11 chrysalis remaining though 3 of those look failed. 2 Black Swallowtail cats on curly parsley. Rotten fruit great for multiple Red Admirals, multiple Question Marks and an Easter Comma. Best day ever for Orange Sulphurs in the yard.
