This lovely female Monarch Butterfly came floating into our garden today and enjoyed supping nectar from the Zinnias. 🦋
First time I've seen a Monarch on these zinnias. There are barely any butterflies where we live, so we're grateful for the one Monarch that zooms around the garden each day at the moment. It seems to come at 10am, then about 2pm, occasionally 4pm. It does a few pass-overs, twirls through the trees and, sometimes, lands on a flower. They tend to glide rather than use the quick fluttering of wings seen in smaller butterflies. Have you noticed that? 🦋
