Photo Description Monarch butterflies travel as much as 100 miles a day during its 3,000-mile migration south. During its migration, each butterfly relies on the huge volume of food it ate when it was a caterpillar for fuel. Monarchs smell with their antennae. Nectar and water are tasted by the sensory hairs on their legs and feet. (Copied from the internet) If this is the monarch butterfly, it's the first one I have ever seen. It is beautiful.
I haven't seen a butterfly on our butterfly bush in quite a while and then this little fellow shows up today, October 3rd. It looks like a monarch to me.

Each fall, the monarchs migrate from the northern United States and Canada back to their home in the mountains of Mexico. Monarchs will be on the move again in March for their journey north.
