It's pretty much the end of the season for the Monarch butterflies. I have finished tagging ones that I recently released or captured, and am submitting my data to Monarch Watch.
Here is one of the recent butterflies to emerge from its chrysalis. The newly emerged male is still hanging from remains of his former shell, the remains of which can be seen above him. He hangs like this, drying his wings, before they are strong enough that he can fly. http://dan-matyola.squarespace.com/danmatyolas-pesos/2020/10/3/emerging F-5 IIs, smc DA 35 mm Macro F 2.8 limited Comments, criticisms, and suggestions are invited and appreciated.
