This monarch was hiding in my morning glory vine while I was watering. The colors caught my eye against the beautiful green of the vine, luckily, so I was able to move it before watering that section of the garden. It sat on my hand for a little bit before it dove into the red penta for a drink and then searched for more food in the lantana. It’s definitely sad when I find a butterfly whose wings are not quite right. But, it makes me proud to have a space where they find some refuge. Needless to say after filling up on nectar I brought him into our butterfly house for the night to rest.
