Monarch Butterfly NZ Trust

flying around, feeding

6Monachs were feeding on one of my Tree lucerns this afternoon. I think the big mob ( over 400) must have moved to greener pastures. I have not seen more than the odd dead one in spite of the terrible weather that the last 2 months have given us.

Found on carpet after hatching during the day.
