Orange Sulphur Butterfly
I checked out the diagram of butterflies at Brookside Gardens today, and learned that there are a handful that continue to visit into October, and some even November. This Orange Sulphur is one of them. I also ran into the Monarch Tagger. An elderly gentleman with a jaunty cap was walking around with a butterfly net. I asked him if he was looking for monarchs. Sure enough, he has been working as a volunteer to tag them. He's a semi-retired Emergency Room physician. He said that four of his tags have been reported to have reached Mexico in the few years he's been involved with this hobby. So I guess the tagged butterflies I've seen at the gardens originated there. Safe travels south!
