There were some, but not many. The weather looks a bit ominous, too. IDs in ALT. #insects #butterflies #sky #clouds #photography #nature #HoosierMast
El Rosario is but one of a few sanctuaries where #MonarchButterflies overwinter and most of them are under attack by illegal gang logging. El Rosario is carefully guarded by the group "Butterflies And Their People" --and one of them was murdered.

The Monarch’s ForestAt El Rosario sanctuary, within the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, during the harsh winter months, millions of monarch butterflies gather, transforming the oyamel fir trees into a vibrant mosaic of colours. The golden rays penetrating the forest create a magical atmosphere.

https://universeodon.com/@MelsGarden/113176774066621662 MelsGarden@universeodon.com - This year's butterflies! 📷
[*see pin for 2023]
All of these were photographed by me in my small suburban garden.
43 species in total. So far, anyway. The Fall butterflies are currently migrating thru, so there's always a chance something new will turn up. But I wanted to go ahead & post this while I still had the chance.
2 are still missing from last year (Sleepy Orange & Orange-barred Sulphur).
1 was left off the grid (Red-Banded Hairstreak) bc, well, it's a grid & 43 didn't work lol.
Anyway, the point of this post is to show that biodiversity still exists. Climate doom & gloom can be demoralizing, but the butterflies are still here & every little bit you can do to support them matters. It doesn't take a fancy garden. Even just a few flowers on a patio can be a much-appreciated haven for pollinators.
Give them a reason & they will come. It's well worth it, I promise. 💚

So let's enjoy them while we may. IDs in ALT. #insects #butterflies #InsectsOfTheFediverse #insectphotography #nature #HoosierMast

A warm day and lots of butterfly action. Figured the heat would cause some of the monarchs to eclose, so I went to clean the enclosure and found a surprise swallowtail (different enclosure). Was starting to think I’d have overwintering chrysalises. Nice end to the day.#insects #butterflies

A rare forest butterfly, this butterfly tends to hop about. Fortunately, it kept still while feeding from a small puddle, before hopping off back into the forest.

Glad I decided to go there after it rained in the morning. The Green Imperial is a rare forest butterfly; and a beautiful one too.

https://expressional.social/@lionelb/112854026812828063 lionelb@expressional.social - A great relief to find this, for the first time this year. It was out enjoying the sun. It is a female Common Blue butterfly (Polyommatus Icarus).
Several blues have complicated but near identical markings.
