My Yard ~ Monarch Butterflies

Monarchs Mating

And more mating..which leads to 

Monarch Caterpillars

And the next step is caterpillar to chrysalis

And this time of year the chrysalis are everywhere!

And then the tagged Monarch's come through on their way to Mexico.

And here are 7 Monarch out of a group of 80+ that stopped by this day.

And they really love the smooth Aster and so do we!

Lots of mating going on in the Monarch world.  They are creating the generation that is supposed to migrate to their wintering grounds in Mexico. Pictures from the past few weeks.
